Depends only on vehicle weight per sticker in your door, not tire type or size.... I believe.

Audi suggest for a 1.8T with those tyres 32 all round in normal driving and (I think without checking the car) 38F 45R for fully laden

Default The pressure doesn't have to be the same, depending on load.

I normally run 2 lb/psi more in the front tires with 1-3 people aboard. Some go the other way and put a couple of pounds more in the rear tires with a heavy load, and others drop the rear tire pressure a few pounds when racing.
