I've gone through 2 sets already and not noisy at all? What kind of noise? Maybe my radio is too loud!

My 17" Dunlop Run Flats are quiet and bump absorption relatively good. I just hope my new 520 Sport with 18" M alloys and M Sport suspension is as good.

Let me know if you can get your dealer to replace the tires. My RF Dunlops turned noisy after 6500mi.. I called Dunlop/Goodyear and they told me that's to be expected with those tires and a sport car setup. There was nothing they were doing for me.

Hmmm, it's rumoured they get noisier from about 7,000 miles.
Mine are at about 8,500 miles and seem ok. The rears (275 width) seem to make a 'rubbery creaking' when cold?
I'll probably bite the bullet and get non-runflats next though just to smooth things up a bit

I ditched the runflats and went with Pilot Sport PS/2. Have 10k miles already and zero noise. Handling is tighter in hard turns and the ride is smoother on the highway than the runflats. Best tires I have ever had.
