I wasn't aware road noise was a problem (but my car is considerably louder than a stock C6 so I hardly notice road noise). 
Certainly stiff sidewall runflats contribute to road noise. If you don't want to sacrifice the security of using runflats on the street, even placing a rear cargo mat inside the cargo area will help suppress road noise. There are also more involved noise insulating kits that can be installed.

Our pre-cut insulation kit (Mad-Mat) will reduce the road noise from the runflats considerably.
