With Pneumatic wheels you might have to lower the center wheel more because the weight of the robot will cause your center wheel to squish (and lower the rest of the robot), thus eliminating some of the drop you added.

If you also were to deflate your outside wheels slightly, you should also notice a increase in mobility.
We tried playing with the air pressure but it never made a noticeable difference in maneuverability
