Pb+4 will react easily to attain stability this is because of inert pair effect. Pb+2 is under strong nuclear attraction than pb+4 because of poor shielding effect of 4f & 5d shells.

Pb+2 is in lower oxidation state so it can react easily to attain higher oxidation state of +4 and gets stabilised.but Pb+4 is in its highest possible oxidation state and already stabilised.So it can not react so easily.Hence Pb+2 reacts easily than Pb+4.
