Holds money, probably less noise, cheap enough to change cause of the G05.

The run flats are 69db wont get a quieter car tyre... but maybe the numbers are bollocks and the 69db outside noise environment sends the noise into the cabin instead.

Literally drove out my house to Costa this morning and did around 1 mile. Road felt rough, noise at 30mph, even the engine is audible.

Not much other choice - which is a shame, the tyre swap out idea if that does NOT work I spent a grand on a car that might be going.

But it is tempting to try - my feeling is that the noise is coming from the windows, the general lightness of the car too. If I get any intel from the tyre forum I posted on I will post back here.

The whole thing could be the P Zero Run Flats.
Do you know anyone with a 7 that you could swap the rims with to see how they feel/sound? Maybe try the dealer?
