Cathode-tied resistor

Those resistors set the idle bias point. I would not change them, unless you have a known idle parameter that you are heading toward. Which usually depends on the specific tube type and its role in the circuitry.

IOW... you need to calculate the idle current you wish, depending on tube type, the function in the circuit, and plate voltages.
