Default S5 Tire pressure

Has anybody looked on the door jam vs the owners book. There are two different numbers for tire pressures. Mine has 42/38 on the jam and the book shows higher pressure on the front. I have my oil changed the other day and there did me a favor and adjusted my pressures to 35 all around. Boy was I pissed. You could feel the difference. I run 40/38 cold what do most of you run on an S5?
Thanks in advance.

39F/36R when cold, per the door jamb sticker (on my '09 S5). If the idiots who changed your oil are too dumb (or lazy) to read the door jamb sticker when they're messing with your tire pressure, you need to find a new place.
