420 tire pressure?

I have rimguard in the rear tires on my 420. The guy who installed it said not to check the pressure and not worry unless fluid is leaking. One tire looks softer than the other.I have wheel weights, chains and put suitcase weights on the rear if I'm not using the wood hauling 3pt box I built. I don't mow with it. Should I check them? What pressure should I run? The manual says 5-10#. Where can I get a gauge that reads down to 5#? Well the 455 deal fell through.
Thanks,Rich

Travis, You have filled front tires and wheel weights. Are the weights on the front or rear wheels? I have 2 sets of wheel weights on my 316 Onan and the blower wants to steer the tractor. Thought about filling the fronts with calcium solution,as I have tubes in them. Would be nice to find a set of old front wheel weights.
