Which Runflat tires are most quiet?

Autojack · 03-16-2013, 04:45 PM

I have to replace the rear set of OEM GY 19" tires on my 2011 F10 550 M sport. Are the Michelin Pilot Sport run flats the best for the least amount of noise on the FWY?
Thanks

What tires are you running on the front? I've always been a fan of keeping brand and model the same - front to rear - to help ensure balanced handling and braking.

Stick with your Goodyear LS2's if you want to stay with All Season Run Flat Tires. 245/40/19's with XL load rating, all-seasons are hard to find; but run flats truly limits the selection!

Michelin Pilot Sports A/S ZP aren't available in that size, so you may have to go with a Summer Tire.

I had Bridgestone on my 2007 335D, these were shocking tyres. I never felt the car would stop quick enough in the rain, plus they only lasted 11,000 miles.

Around 2008/9 there was a lot of controversy about these tyres because many thought the compound was too soft.

My 535D has Goodyear Excellence, they have now covered 13,000 miles and have given no problems.

I'm using Continental ContiSportContact 3 run flat. Not sure if they have the least amount of noise of all tires available, but they have terrific grip. And don't go all season. It sucks.

the goodyears have to be the worst tires! mine have been replaced due to bubbles,make road noise,and to top it off the rubber started cracking
I can't wait til the tread ware is done on these..if they offered them for free to me I still wouldn't take them
