Do you deflate the tires a bit too, to account for flexing during a
bounce?


I'm not too concerned about that since my students know to add full
power and climb out of a bounce.


My point isn't the bounce, but the fact that the prop is closer to the ground while the tires are compressed and the wheel struts are deflected (to the extent that happens in a Mooney). So the sight picture you give the students would not be exactly
accurate. I'm not sure an inch makes a difference in the sight picture they will remember, but it would be an expensive inch.
