Snow tire question

I just picked up a set of Dunlop Graspic 205/55R16s for my A4 and one of the tires is really noisy. I noticed that the noisy one is marked 95Q after the tire size and all the others are 89Q. Does anyone know what this number means?

You definately do not have matching/same vintage tires. The "89" or "95" is the load rating, Q is..

The speed rating. Take it back to whoeve you bought it from, and insist on the same tires. LEt me guess, the 95 tire is louder? The 95 tire would be of heavier construction.

Get this fixed!
