Considering ride quality, handling and tire wear, what is the optimal tire pressure for 20" all season tires on the A8?

Why different pressures front vs rear? The dealer had them all set at 36.

Default I believe those are the recommended cold settings for a W12 with 20s

These numbers are from memory after a brief glimpse of the inside fuel filler door of a new W12 that was in for service while I was at my dealer. If someone with a W12 wants to chime in here, please do. :-)
