Tyre pressure when using Tyre Slime

I use tyre slime in my tyres, such as green slime and weldtite. I am wondering if the tyre pressure should be lower than usual when using them? Reason I say this is the tyre feels overinflated now at the usual pressure I pump them to. For example fronts are usually 5.5 bar, but with the slime they feel substantially inflated at 4bar.

Yes, it's normal to run tubeless tyres at lower pressures than air filled tyres.
It might say on the tyres what pressure you should use for using an inner tube and also when tubeless.

A road tyre will need different pressures than a MTB tyre.
I'd look at the tyre for the pressure. Which if there's just one set of figures (Bar/PSI), I'd try around 75% as a starting point for tubeless.

Also try a tyre pressure app, similar to this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mavic.mymavic
