Thanks Moff, I'm new to run flats and had assumed (wrongly) that any change in tyre pressure would show on the display. I've now been told by my local dealer that I need to check pressure every month (to be honest they were all different), pity he didn't advise me this when I splashed out a the last new set, I have now made this a monthly job so lets hope the next set doesn't go the same way. Thanks for the info.

Runflat tyres ? Hard side walls there are many posts on other sights stating harsh ride, road noise etc from runflat tyres 

Yes, runflats. Wanted to see if anyone else was or had experienced the same problem and how they resolved it. Many thanks for your prompt response. Ray

Hi Ray...welcome to the Forum

Not entirely sure what is causing a rumble but I would certainly be looking for any signs of abnormal tyre wear but otherwise, it may be worth looking up some of the tyre websites that publish noise levels for different tyres and change to something with a lower rating...either that or turn up the stereo.

Also, just a thought but maybe worth checking tyre pressures when cold to ensure they are not too high.

Cheers,  Trevor

Thanks for the welcome Trevor, will certainly look up other tyre options. Main thing was to find out if anyone else had the same issue with tyre rumble, be interesting to see if I get any other responses but in the meantime the tyre websites are the way to go.Thanks again for your help, cheers Ray

I have 2015 X3 (F25) 2.0d, after 12k miles I started to get tyre rumble. The dealership advised it was due to the Goodyear tyres supplied from the states and suggested changing them to Pirelli's, the old tyres still had many miles of wear but decided to change them as the rumble became annoying. Another 12k miles later and the Perilli's are now starting to create a rumble and again have still many miles of wear left. Has anyone else had this problem and if so what did you change the tyres to to solve the problem, appreciate any suggestions.
