Run Flat Chat Chat... oh not that again
Yep - that again.
So - G11 owner here - hello - 740xdrive - Want to reduce the noise from the tyres. Have you changed your run flats out - if so noise better? Any issues with warning lights for pressure sensors etc. BMW said there will be a constant error potentially. Which obviously I would like to avoid. |

I had changed the RFT to non RF on my old F01 and that made a hell of a difference but with this one (a 730d G11) I had stock RFT and have recently changed to a different brand RFT that has also made quite a difference in noise...mind you I'm on poor man's 18" wheels as well but moving to a set of Pirelli P Zero RFT's has definitely reduced road noise and still kept the convenience.
Not sure if it would be as discernible on 19 or 20" rims though... Hope that helps.

Its always helpful. If it helps it helps.
How much woud you say ? Noticably quieter? No issues with the sensors? I would not have changed on an F01 - that is a v quiet car. |

The change on the F01 was night and day. RF compared to non in both noise and comfort was something definitely worth doing even on that car with the better noise insulation that we both agree on. I'd judge it was at least 5 dB difference. Again stock tires to Michelin pilots at the time. I may decide to do the same when I finally get a larger set of rims for this one next Spring (21") just to help with the ride quality and noise. In the F01 I never had any issues regarding the sensors though when I did change from RF to non...plenty of times when changing from RF to RF because of the incompetence of the various independent garages though. The current RF to RF change is not as much as when I did it on the F01 in any case...It's more in the range of a dB or 2 at most.
