I heard a very loud whine at about 110mph, I thought it was the run flats. Anyone else have the loud whine with the run flats?

Welcome to the forum monnot66

Load tire noises from runflats are the norm! Runflats have thicker sidewalls and the ride can be rather harsh. They whine so much that some forumers managed to get the dealer to change them

The bright side of it is that it allows you to continue your journey for 120 km at 80 km/h.

They shouldn't have been called runflats..... Dumbflats sounds better
