I'm not in a position to tell you it's definitely your tyres, because I'm not an expert on these things and can only go on my own experience. When I bought my A3 I was VERY concerned about the road noise because I was doing a lot of motorway driving and the noise was horrendous. To be fair part...

Hi Mr Tidy - I had a whole set of Michelin Primacy 4's. The difference was remarkable. No need to drop to 17's. Glad I did this before opting to go smaller. Don't get me wrong, they didn't come cheap. Think with tracking all round it worked out about £115 per wheel. But to me that was a small...

Hi Robin, I have been on your site, was wondering if you would be prepared to give me a price for fitting puddle lights to the front doors of my Audi A3 2015 (8V)? I have seen your post with instructions but would rather not attempt it myself. Please PM me or email me at rd_boon@hotmail.com...

Interesting! Shame that it was so bad you felt you needed to get rid. I must confess I was starting to have the same concerns initially which was so frustrating because I'd only just bought it and was loving everything else about it. That being said though, the tyre change I had done yesterday...

Thank you for all your responses, one above particularly. I agree with everything you've said. While I am fully aware that db is an externally measured rating, my admittedly limited understanding of the law of physics would suggest that a tyre making less noise should in theory be therefore...

Interesting, thank you. I'm aware that the db rating is external, I'm just hoping that any reduction in db will have some, even if just slight, change to the noise within the cabin. I'm also hoping that the brand new tyres, with more tread, might help!

Thanks. I've just been to a local tyre garage who have recommended Michelin PS4s! But they've said they have a db rating of 68. I actually have Conti's on at the minute, but not on all four, so we'll see what happens later when they're changed! The ones that are on are pretty worn down to be...

Hi Scotty75 - I've tried all the various options from Efficiency to Dynamic etc, but it's bad across all of them. I do a lot of motorway driving, 80 miles a day minimum, and I'm finding that for some reason 60-70 the noise is at its worse, particularly when you come off the gas and the car...

Awesome response, thank you! I've been reading so many mixed opinions on this. Lots of people saying that it's the tyre not the wheel size that creates the noise, and that changing the tyre could make it better. I would definitely prefer to keep the 18" because they look so good! - It's just...

Hi all, first time poster so be nice. Literally just took ownership of a 2015 A3 S Line 2.0 TDI. Absolutely love the car, but I'm finding the road noise, particularly at 70mph on the motorway to be horrendous, I'm trying to live with it, but I'm finding it so bad that it's distracting me from...
