2009 a3 2.0t
 
Do other owners find that these cars have a bit of road noise?
Mine did with the stock wheels, and now a bit more with 18 " Rial Nogar wheels & Kuhmo 225/40/ZR18 tires.

Yes, my 2008 transmits a lot of road noise. My winter Michelins are actually quieter than my summer Toyos which are rated as a quite tire.

It would depend on the tires. I have Bridgestone Potenza 760 summer tires on stock S Line rims and I don't hear any road noise. Check Tire rack for noise rating when buying tires.
