Radials on side slopes

Radials on side slopes

(OP)
Hi all,
First post on this forum...
My pass time activity involves the restoration of vintage military vehicles and my question relates to the (possibly) limitations of the new radial off-road tires to negotiate side slopes at reduced pressure.
My 1969 xm757 8x8 truck can run all day (including on side slopes) with tire pressures of 10 psi. The tires are tubeless, low profile bias ply types. In contrast, the new FMTV vehicles are limited to 20 psi off road and should use "highway" pressure on side slopes. These are radial type tires.
Question; what are the limitations of radials on side slopes?
TIA
