    480/70r34 and 360/70r24 on my tractor

    Loader on the front and max 1t weight

    Rear would sometimes have pan mixer on. 3t amd rest would be tanker 1800G and 12t dump trailer

    So what pressure should my front and rear tyres be in psi

    It'll vary slightly on brand and type of tyre.
    3 lugs touching the ground is the usual rule of thumb.
    With your use I'd say 20-25 in front and 26-28 in the rear

    Have Goodyear super tractions myself.
    Can't be got anymore.
    Goodyear are known to have extra flexible side walls and can be a bouncy tyre imo but they hard bet fur wear rate and grip.
    I'd have 25 in front with loader on and 28 in back for the dumper if it was me ðŸ‘
