Default Tire pressure settings on sticker?

What is the factory recommended factory tire pressure seetings for the Goodyears? The owner's manual talks about a sticker in the passenger side door jam that has this. My '03 ar has no such sticker. Mine only has one on the driver's door jam and it says to set the tires to 42 psi front and rear for max loads. This seems way high and I thought the front and rear should be different.

Does anyone have the other sticker? If so, what does it say for the front and rear settings?

Thanks

Default My '02 sticker is on the LR door jamb. You can differ the F/R pressure by 2 or 3 lbs/psi...

but more than that may cause a different rolling tire diameter, and with quattro you want all four wheels to have the same diameter to prevent drivetrain wear and binding. Audi recommends all tire be inflated to the same pressure. Personally, I like 2 more lbs. in the front tires to counter the nose-heavy weight distribution and improve tire wear.
