Does any body knows which is the correct rear and front tires pressure?
It is a M37 with 900*16 tires.
Thank you very much indeed.

Depends on the weight you are hauling, operating conditions, etc. The side wall info given on new LT9.00X16 NDT's is 50 PSI. You will need to run 50 PSI if your truck is loaded, otherwise the tires will heat up due to underinflation, especially if running at highway speed on pavement. If you aren't hauling any load, 40 PSI is probably OK, but keep a close eye on the tread wear pattern. If the outer edge shows more wear than the center, increase pressure by a few lbs. If the center starts to show more wear, then decrease the pressure a little. It won't take long for you to establish what pressure is best under your specific operating conditions, doing it this way & checking often will make a significant difference in the longivity of your tires usable life.

I keep mine at about 45 psi. Unloaded or loaded with 2000 lbs of wood pellets it rides great and the tires are wearing evenly. As Charles said, you will have to adjust them to your conditions.
