You don't want to deflate any pneumatic wheels if your objective is to turn easier. In fact, you want to do the exact opposite, inflate them to their maximum pressure.
Lower pressure pneumatic tires have a lot more surface area, and have a lot more opportunity to "interlock" with the carpet fibers (think of it almost like Velcro). When this happens, the drive train will draw significant current while trying to turn, potentially even enough to trip the main 120amp breaker if other subsystems are in use at the same time.
