Re: tyre pressure
All depends on the tyre size
there's a good, "rule of thumb" calculation explained in the wiki, whch works it out from the max pressure of your tyre

Re: tyre pressure
Give this a go, it worked for me with a bit of "fine tuning"

Re: tyre pressure
Mmm.. I'd be very surprisd if they are actually van tyres at that size... so may not have a high enough load rating for the rear axle..
What does it say on the tyre?.. (Should read something like.. 185/65r15 Q97, or have a C in there as well)
Also.. your speedo will be about 4.5% faster than you are going.. so added to the 5-10% thay are already inaccurate, an indicated 60 is prob only 50...
