Yes it is. Try higher than 10 perhaps. Tire will likely overheat if driven at high speed for too long at that low a pressure:

I recall running my Swampers down at 15 psi or lower quite often on the road, between trails. I recall they were rated at something like 2500 lbs/tire load rating @ 30 psi, so 15 psi is in the ball park for a 4000-5000 lb. 4Runner.

Yep, that is normal. Mine was about the same speed. If I could accelerate through that zone without hitting any bumps in the road, it was fine. If I hit a bump and got the wheels going, had to slow down or hit the brakes to settle it down.
