Default Right Pressure 245/40-18's?

hi!
just bought new tires yesterday for my A6 3.2Q.. =)
been reading about tire pressures on low profile tires..all from 34Psi to 50Psi..hmm confusing..
what do you recomend?
since tires are relatively expensive over @ my town..(500USD/each)
i whould like to get most out of them
Tires bought:
Nokian Hakka Z XL 97Y 245/40-18's (max psi 51)
will mostly ride without load and alone
cheers!/H

Definitely not 50psi! The owners manual or tire placard will tell the story, its likely 32-42psi. What year is the A6 3.2Q?

I'm showing 34psi front and 32psi rear. You could run 34 psi all around for simplicity sake.
