I'm the opposite of many here. We have had the Michelin AS run flats on for about a year and we notice no tire noise (must be running a very quiet exhaust system to hear the tire noise 
). Of course, ours are not going to perform at 10/10ths like pure performance tires, but then again, I don't drive at 10/10ths on the highway. If I choose to that, I'll go to the track.
I'm 70, and still having surgeries from a head-on (guy running from the police and doing approximately 100mph) almost two years ago including one last week and another one tomorrow. With this as my background, I chose to not be laying on the ground, at night, miles away from home, dealing with a tire problem.
I think too many people remember the first run flats from 15-20 years ago, and like most other production items, whether tires or a digital TV, performance has come a long way in that time.
If you have any Corvette functions or Cars and Coffees around you, you may want to attend and get insight from people there. Many would probably be willing to give you a ride in their car so you can evaluate different tires first hand.
Best wishes in your search.

My recommendation would be the Hankook Ventus V12 EVO2 tires. I have the earlier version of these tires on my car and they are great.

This is what I was going to say. These are great and the price for such a highly rated tire on Tire rack is hundreds lower than you might expect. Go with the Firestone Indy 500 from Tire Rack with free shipping and you can't go wrong I promise you.
