A couple of problems, sounds like the thermostat needs to be changed, hopefully you do not have a blown head gasket, make sure the cooling system is purged after refilling, the car would need to be scanned for ABS codes to know where to look for the problem, it will indicate what it is, and the tire pressure thing, go to a tire shop to get that resolved. But you'll need to address the overheating issue first.
