For those with excessive and increasing road noise from your runflats (and I know that is most of you over 8-12k miles), has anyone tried dealing with Dunlop and if so, what result.

There was a post indicating that Dunlop made some changes somewhere along the line. If you have a set with the right serial numbers, Dunlop replaced someones. Don't remember who, but the thread is out there, probably within the last couple of months.

God I hope they made this change earlier. I have had no problems with the Dunlops. June 04 build. July 04 ED. I have 7300 miles and still quite.
So am I suddenly going to start hearing tire roar in 700 miles????

[/quote]Eh, don't worry about it. It happens gradually. I didn't realize how loud mine were until I put on the snows (go figure
).I found that a little John Lee Hooker in the Logic 7 helped the issue.

[/quote]On mine, the noise did start gradually at about 8k miles and I only heard it on certain roads...now at 11k miles it is noticeable on every road.
