 What tyres do you have on the car? They are/should be 205/75R16. To get pressures somewhere near right you need to weigh the axles separately to establish the weight on each. You're allowed GVM (Total weight of van) of about 3500kg from memory, but because of rear overhang it is very likely that the rear axle is carrying a bit weight more than is the  front. Can't remember maximum allowed weight on each axle, and I'll find out if you wish, but you do need to get your axle weights or we're shooting in the dark! Are the tyres LT (light truck)? All the necessary info can be found on sidewall of the tyre so if you post ALL of that info for us we may be able to give you a guide, at least. Cheers

P.S Quick search says rear axle carrying capacity is 2250kg, which is amazing if it's true! I'll research further once you've done your weights. Cheers
