Default A7 21" Tyre pressure is giving me pressure (UK)

Hi I have a 2014 A7 black edition quattro and I have just got it back from the dealer after the first service. The ride felt a little hard so i have been out to check the tyre pressures and i have found that they are way higher than the drivers tyre pressure door sticker recommends so now I'm confused

I am running ContiSportContact 5P 275/30 ZR21

Does anyone have any advise on the best pressure to run these at. i do a lot of my travel on motorways

Thanks in advance

Read your manual. There will be a chart that gives recommended pressures for each wheel/tire combos for normal and max loads.

Hi Jasonlitka thanks for the quick reply

I have read the manuals cover to cover and the only mention is "Tyre pressures are listed on a sticker on the end face of the drivers door"

My question is more around the discrepancy around the listed tyre pressure and the ones inflated to by the Main Dealer. Additionally i would like to know what other A7 drivers with the same tyre and inflating to for maximum performance / comfort

I inflate to the exact pressure listed on the door sticker.
