I was driving with a flat run flat tyre last week. While driving it makes a very loud noise; so loud in fact that people look at you while you're driving past. According to the technicians this is normal? Anyone have a similar experience of this while driving with a punctured run flat tyre?

My experience occured on the M1 - nobody was looking at me at the time!
But I didn't noticed any particular starings as I was brining the car into the garage - I was just pissed off at my luck!

Luckily they repaired the puncture at a cost of ?20 not sure what a new tyre would have cost if I had to change it.
The main tyre man was off sick in the BMW garage, so they had to take it to a tyre specialist to repair it. The junior technician was not confident in taking off a run flat tyre from the wheel and to repair it.
I have the 18" style 123 wheels.
Thanks for the responses. I'll register on this forum soon. Once I think of a name!

I'm the Guest who created this post. Hello to all.
Just thought of a name for myself BMW530. Not that creative I know.
Would have added the UK but thought BMW525UK might say I was copying.
lin83,
Wow ?280 is a lot of money. I assume it was a BMW dealer that said it could not be repaired?
Where was the puncture?
Mine was on the tread itself with a brand new screw in it.
I only had the car for 1 week but it was a 3 month old car, so still a relatively new tyre as the car only did less than 400 miles.
