If you haven't noticed it, maybe it was just the vehicle I drove. I'll have to check another. As for general noise, I agree it is almost as quiet as a gas engine, except for a slight muted clatter, which didn't bother me at all. I think the ride issue can be dealt with by changing out the run flats as long is there is a way to keep going after a puncture.

I don't have any vibration either. My car rode much better with Michelin tires. My car came in with damaged wheels from the factory. The dealer swapped out my wheels and tires last Weds. Now I have Bridgestone tires that ride stiffer and have a lot more road noise. They only had one 3.0i with the sport package, so I wasn't able to get Michelin tires again. They also didn't want to swap my tires from my damaged wheels. I will wear these tires out and go back to Michelin's. What brand tires did the demo have? Also, did it have the sport package? Mine has the sport package and I don't think it's that rough.
