Default Reco wanted - Tire pressure on Michelin PS 4 S?

Picked up a Longacre 53006 Digital tire gauge to discover my analog gauge was reading 3 PSI off (reading higher) This new Longacre racing gauge is brilliant - now looking what to run now that I have a better gauge. Street only - have not tracked these PS4S yet. Door jamb says 39 all around. 2012 S4. .... appreciate your thoughts based on this tire?

Door jamb only displays MAX LOAD pressures in the USA. You'll have to open the Owner's Manual for your car for the info you seek/starting point.

I run tires at max door jamb listed pressures on all of our Audis. Feels better. Crisper steering response. Tires last longer. Have better impact resistance and yields better fuel mileage. On my S5 with PS4s this is 41psi front and 38 psi rear.
