Bosco, welcome to Audiworld! Do you have the Owner's Manual? That will have a section toward the rear of the booklet that covers wheels/tires. There you will find the NORMAL load inflation pressures and the MAX load pressures for the various size wheels fitted to the car at the factory.

What’s in the door jamb (aka the Ford Explorer Bridgestone tyre failure CYA sticker) is the maximum recommended pressure by Audi.
