Let's say you have an 8" x 4" contact area on each of 4 tires.
8" x 4" = 32 square inches on each tire
32 square inches times 4 tires = 128 square inches.
1525 pounds divided by 128 square inches = 11.9 pounds per square inch.
The only way to cut that in half to achieve your desired 5.5 PSI would be to either double the width of the tire or double the length of the contact patch by putting on much taller tires, or some combination of both.
I can tell you with certainty that if you put taller tires on a PT180, you will lose an incredible amount of power at the wheels. You'll gain top speed, but you may not be able to get the machine to move with a load. You will NOT be happy with the performance, and god help you if you need to go up even a slight hill with a load. It just won't work well.
We had a member here that did put larger tires on a 400 series PT, which raised his top speed but lowered his torque. However, he then put on larger displacement wheel motors to lower his speed and gain back his torque. He had sand on a beach that he needed to traverse, thus the larger tires were needed for flotation. As I recall, it was a one-off that he paid Power Trac to do and was kinda pricey.
