My runflats are not too noisy, but they wear at an incredible rate, will soon need replacing after 10,000 fairly sedate miles. They wear far more quickly than any tyre's on any car I have owned before. Combined with the rubbish fuel consumption ( nowhere near official figures ), this thing eats cash.
What model do you have? And which tyre?
Not too bad now but he said they only had a couple of thousand miles left, they seem to be wearing faster now than when new, maybe a softer compound when they wear down a bit..

I found that. Loads of tread up to about 10k miles and now all gone at 15k!!!
