One thing about the runflats, they don't look flat when they don't have air.

browellm,

Did you hear noises or loud noise when driving on a flat tyre? When I had a puncture the noise was so loud that people were looking at my car as I was driving by. Obviously when you're in the car you only hear a slight "clicking" noise.
Only heard noise and vibration through the car when the tyre was totally flat i.e. this morning, but then I only had to drive it about a mile.

BTW everybody, I'm on Bridgestone Potenza RE050's.

I think Dunlop would have paid better.

clicking noise was probably the nail hitting the street with every rotation.

FYI
When I had to initialize my tires, it took approximately 25 minutes of driving.

Oh yes... I hate that sound... Heard it too often in the past...

On the 6series I had for testing for two days, before I ended up buying the E60, it took about ten minutes.

Which, of course, is exactly what the E60 manual says. Which brings up a couple of more questions. Has anyone ever received a message that initialization failed? Would two 5-minute drives = one 10-minute drive?
