Dropping the pressure in the tire will lead to (way) higher risk of tearing of the tire fabric. You should never drive with a deflated tire, it multiplies the risk of tire failure like crazy.

So no, deflated spherical wheels is not a good idea :/

He's not saying it should be completely deflated, it just shouldn't be at max pressure; you can control the amount of deformation with pressure.
