The best way to arrive at your "best" tire pressures is to experiment.
Vehicles, drivers and loads, and personal preference in the "feel" you
like...you'll only know after you mess around a little if indeed you've got
the pressures as good as you can.  As little as a pound or two can make the
difference.  I keep t.p.s in my owner's manual on a blank page.   Add a few
lbs and see...is it better?  add a few more,  better still, or worse?
Write it down, each change.  Doesn't take much work, and it'll end up being
the best handling YOU can get from your van...if anyone posts
numbers...start with them....go from there...
