Default 2017 A4 Vibration Issues

Hey' guys I have had zero issues with my 2017 allroad till today and was wondering if any one else has experienced any vibration when driving over 60 MPH. I noticed it after the heavy snowfall here in NYC. Any ideas on what caused this?

Are you running spacers?
Are you on the stock tires and wheels or have you swapped them out?
Could be snow, slush, ice chunks stuck or frozen up int he wheel well. Do you park outside or in a garage where the cars warms up and the snow will melt?

Lastly, I'm in NYC too. Lets have an Allroad party.

Snow compacted into ice in the wheel wells. Happens all the time (at least to us Canadians)

I agree..

OP -check the inside of the wheel barrels (not wheel wells). Usually after driving through or parked in snow, and the temps drop as they have ice will form on the inside of the barrels and cause it to feel like the car is out of balance. Since the weather here is supposed to warm up once the ice is gone the car should feel like normal.

Agree.

OR, if after the snow and ice has melted, it could be residual sand and dirt - from the sand trucks who spread it on the road during/after the storm. A quick trip to the car wash with high pressure water onto my wheels solves it.
