Loaded tires psi

[BlueKnife]

The twisted wire is to keep the chains they do damage when they come off.
I wish I had cams on the chains you turn up and hook into a link. In the Spring I will buy new chains for the tire size.

The hook that you have the wire on is installed wrong. That hook is the "cam". It's supposed to go completely through the last link in the chain and hook back onto the chain. You really need to watch some of those videos carefully. This is something that is better explained visually. New chains aren't going to help if they're installed incorrectly like the current ones are.

14.9-28's should be good at 12-20 psi depending upon the load being carried.
Being liquid filled …

12psi with liquid filled is asking for leaks around the bead imo
Or even worse the bead unseating loosing your fluid.

It also looks like the OP’s inside side chain may be not tightened enough and that might help.

Ruffdogs picture of the latch is correct!!
