It's amazing how low recommended cold tire pressures were 30 years ago, even for radial type tires.

I suspect that gradual suspension improvements over time(better compliance) allowed for higher pressures to be specified yet still ride smooth, and at the same time save gas.

An equivalent Pajero today might specify 33 and higher PSI.
