When the outer part of the kleats raise off the ground, you have TOO MUCH air in them.
every tractor will be a bit different based on tire size and weight. so on bias tires, air them up till the budge on the side is just gone, but the cleats are flat on the outside edges, touching the ground.
too low and the budging will wear out the side walls with cracks, too high and the center will start to crack and the cleats will pull away from the carcuss and you also will have lower traction. Cleats should run flat on ground for best traction. And traction is what it was all about to begin with.
If you change loads, you may need to adjust the air a bit. If the tires are bit oversized, they will probably run at lower inflation, where smaller tires will run a bit higher. but 8 to 15 lbs is normally the sweet spot, with 10 to 12 being most common. ymmv.
Radial will be a bit different as they are designed to budge a bit.
