Tire pressure

I have modern wide white bias ply tires on my 1952 Manhattan. The owners manual states that the correct inflation pressure for the factory original low pressure super cushion tires is 24psi. Is this also correct for today's tires?

The owners manuals recommended 24 lb of pressure to insure that you got maximum riding comfort but it was not good for longevity or easy steering on the cars. I have always used 32 lbs. for all of my older cars with 15 or 16 inch rims.

I run 32 pounds in each of my cars. I feel I am getting the maximum riding comfort at that air pressure.

I run my radials at 36 , yes the ride is a bit tight but the flex of the tire is more restricted .
