Default Where to find recommended tire pressure?

I have a 2000 A6 2.7T, but I am not able to find the recommended tire pressure in the manuals.
Can anyone please help?

Thanks!

look right on the sidewall of the tire it should be there but when in doubt 30-35psi is a good rule of thumb

...there is a sticker on the passenger side C pillar. Shows recommended tire pressures for front/rear based on different load levels. My understanding is that this is THE place to go for recommendations, with the caveat that you should not exceed the manufacturer's recommended pressures.

DO NOT use the preessure written on the tire's sidewall. That pressure is the maximum pressure the tire can withstand and is needed when carrying the maximum load the tire can carry, which is written right next to it.
