Run Flats vs. Non Run-Flats Cabin Noise/Rattles Difference?

Hi,

Was wondering for those that have switched to non Run-flats do you notice a difference in the squeaks and rattles in the cabin because the ride is now smoother or less harsh?

As my X5 ages with every bump I am hearing more rattles with the latest being the back window in the tailgate sounds like it is now moving. Not sure how that is possible but when I hit a big bump you can hear the glass in the tailgate. Anyone have this problem and how was it fixed?

Nope, no difference for me. Tailgate noise has been extensively discussed in many threads.

I had the tailgate rattle and this is not that. I read most of the tailgate rattle threads and I didn't see anyone mentioning the tailgate window making noise.

Did a search for Tailgate Window Rattle and Tailgate Window Noise and nothing except my post comes up.
