Are your run flats noisy
I thought it was just me. I had Blondboi with me today and he agreed, the E70 is noisy. My E53 didn't have this much road noise. Is it the run flats?

So what's my deal? Ryan thought it might be my window deflectors. I can't imagine why, I had them on the E53 also. Why would I have so much road noise if yours is quieter than the E53
 It sure sounds like tire noise to me.  , I guess I just have to keep the stereo cranked for 23 months....

 Maybe that's what the noise was?

 After extensive test drives with the E70 and riding in a friend's E53 on multiple occasions, I believe the E70 to be MUCH quieter with regards to road noise.

I had run flats on my 535d which I changed for regular tyres...transformed the ride comfort. I wish there was a spare wheel available as an option in the UK as I would not hesitate to do the same. The X5 is better than my 535d was (it was a 2004 so first gen RFT's) on RFT's but I still think it's compromised.

I just put my winter wheels and tires on my 07 X5 3.0 and I too can confirm they are quieter and softer. The ride quality is much improved. My winter tires are 235/65 R18 and they are not run-flats.
