Those are my tyres.. there is about 6mil left on them maybe 5 - just drove from East London - all creaks fixed. Good old bmw

However road noise is unbearable.

I drove a 19 inch wheel 530e and send some voice notes on the way to my mates, and continued on the way back in my 7 on 20s - they all could not believe the noise.

The above tyres are supposed to be 69db - could have fooled me.

DB meter test.

VW Touareg 19s - 60mph non Run flats - 46db
Mine 54-56db - nearly 10db more.
New X5 22 inch wheels run flats - 52-54db!!!!!

Ditch the car?
Or change out for non runflats?

Still will corner badly - the anti roll is dreadful, I can see the car dip to the side.

Air suspension in G05 is better at corners, but worse for general wallow....

530e markably better at corners and noise - albeit bad inside.
