Check the door jam of your drivers door, and also on the sidewall of the tire should show the max pressure it would hold. Also owners manual.

Door jam does not show pressure for the 21" option with 295/35R21 tires.

The max tire pressure is 50 psi. I up sized my 21 inch tires on mine, but I have them put 38 psi in mine and rides great. This link show max pressure and it’s stamped on the sidewall. I will check my manual when I go out.

If you roll the pressure at the OEM specs, you're going to be replacing tires pretty fast. I have mine at 50PSI, to combat the wear and gain better handling; I use my air suspension to make up the comfort difference. Watch the edges of your tires for the next few thousand miles, and note the feathering that happens on the outer edges, with the lower PSI.

Max tire pressure on sidewall is useless info. NOT a car specific recommendation for tire pressure.

50 psi seems a LOT.

I will try the factory settings listed for the newer Q7 that run that size, see how it rides.

That was just info so they are not over inflated.
