Question for anyone with AoA snow tire package
What tire pressure are you guys running with the AoA snow tire package? Audi sold me 16" wheels with 205 55 16 Michelin Alpin snow tires for my 05 A4 with sport package. This tire size is not listed on the door jamb, nor is it in the owners manual. Any recommendations? I know your not supposed to go by max inflation pressure on the side wall but it says 50 psi. When I took the tires out of the box I checked the pressure before installing and all of them were in the mid 40's psi. That seemed high so I set them to 35 psi.
If anyone else is using this tire how noisy do find it to be? Mine kinda make a whining and warbling sound.
Thanks in advance.

Many snow tires are nosiy due to aggressive tread pattern.
FWIW I have 215/55-16 winters and run 38 PSI.

Mine were the Conti 790s...
which have a max pressure of 51psi... and came set at around 34. I've left them there. They're not any louder on the highway than my Conti ProContacts are (the stock all/season that came on my car..)
