I can hear the noise difference. I also noticed that the auto volume control on the Bose can hear the noise as its adjustments are much more noticeable with my runflats on than when my Invos are on.
The fact that the tire does not compress to the rim without air tells you something about the sidewall. But, I don't need to know anything about the technology to feel it. My Invos ride better.
I know some reports are not as accurate because many switch at the end of the tire life when any new tire seems much better than the worn-out tire. I go back and forth between a good set of GY SC runflats and my Invos, so it is not a case of comparing a worn out set of runflats with new tires.

Yes that is how I feel. I am a woman who drives alone and lives in the country. If I broke down I can only imagine who would stop to help me. One good thing most of my joy riding is during daylight but still now a days you need to becareful. There are alot of nuts out there and driving a nice expensive car need I say more. So I want to stick with the BEST run flats. Money is not an issue for tires for many reasons. So please help me and tell me what would you recommend ? Thank you.

My view is run flats can save your bacon and others,
help keep control if a blow out at speed occurs.
There is so much debris and crap on the freeways these days.
People have no clue how to tie a load down.
They can take something that can ruin a nice evening, day or even your
life and make it into a non-event.
It's adds additional safety margin and I am not eager to remove it.

Zero Pressure. The bottom line for me is I'm not worried about the weight penalty of run flat tires as I'm not trying to set lap times at the track. I want to be able to go on a date and get home with no worries, or run from the cops and be able to run over one of those spike strips, whatever.
