06 A3 2.0 6-speed is noisy
My A3 2.0T with 20,000 miles is real noisy on the highway. Probably road noise from the Pirelli tires - 225-45/17s, I think. Replaced the front two with Michelins and that helped a little. Might have to do the backs also. Anothr $400. Dealer says they are "cupped'. Very noisy at 40 mph.
I have a base model with cloth seats, etc, by the way.
Any ideas?

Had same problem, replaced all four, didn't rotate between 5k & 15k svc . .
Base model here too.
Have learned since, beside not rotating the tires at 10k, the oem tire pressure maybe a little low, and an alignment may have been needed.
Going in for my 25k svc will have them check the alignment, not going to ruin the new tires.

I started w/ replacing two first. Went w/ pzero nero's... did the back two a short while later...
definitely helped. Still get some opensky noise at high speeds, but sounds like you have a alignment issue. Those p6's really suck! 40mph should be smmmooootthhh.
