I think its human nature. You now do not have creaks to bother you; so the road noise becomes more obvious.
If you're still using the old run flats, then there are some issues there.

I had the new seals installed a couple of months ago, the creaks have started again on the rear right door 
Had a word with the snr techie and he confirmed that there are also others with similar problems despite changing the seals :'(
What will they think of next?

However, I've not had a problem with tyre noise whatsoever.
