happyh Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 I got my brand new A4 40tsi Avant in March and have covered 2500 miles on UK roads. I love it and can't criticise at all other than one point. The tyre road noise seems excessive and is quite wearing on a motorway journey. It is almost as if noise insulation is missing. The car is fitted with Bridgestone Turanza Eco 245/40 R18. Has anyone else experienced these tyres? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheITGuy Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 I've had Bridgestone Turanzas on previous new cars (Skodas) and they are indeed very noisy. They use a hard compound rubber which gives the tyre a long life but seems to transmit a lot of road noise into the cabin. My Audi has Michelin Primacy tyres for the summer months and Michelin Cross Climate 2 tyres for the winter ones. Both are lovely and quiet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds like the explanation in my case. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
