Matt,
The door jam sticker lists the pressures for your van if it was equipped
with the factory 205/70 reinforced. Use those pressures as the baseline.
You may want to increase the front pressures to reduce that
under-steering effect.

Hi folks,
    For those of you running the big tires: what have you found to be
the
best cold tire pressure?
    These are Bridgestone Turanza's on an 88 GL. The shop inflated them
to
35 psi all around- they feel ok, but a little bit floppy. They're rated
for
44 psi max pressure, 1554 lbs load.
    I got em from tirerack- really good service, not the best prices but
worth it for selection.
