Don't be so sure, the Conti Vanco's on my Kangoo are only rated to 51psi. I know Conti and Michelin have van tyres with 'B' economy ratings, and I think there are a few 'A' rated tyres around too.

But before I search any further, is it safe (and legal) to mount van tires in a passenger car? Are there any potential downsides?

You'd really have to check with local authorities, but generally going up in load rating won't be a problem. My van tyres (Michelin and Conti) grip every bit as well as those on my passenger cars. I'd even say the Michelin Agilis on my Transporter grip better than the Conti's on my Fiat.
