Does anyone out there with the 2014-15 rogue with run flats feel the ride and noise are unacceptable? I recall the demo with standard tires riding smooth and quiet but mine rides loud and jarring. Wondering if it's all due to the run flat tires or something wrong with the suspension.

I would say run flats are very noisy. My winter set that i have on right now seems to be quieter than R/Fs.

Thanks for the confirmation. I almost can't wait for these things to wear out. I do worry that over time the stiffness of the run flats could prematurely wear the suspension namely the struts and bushings.

you're over thinking it, waaaaaay to much. their not going to prematurely wear out your bushing/struts.

do yourself a favor, search ebay for a decent jack kit & spare that will work with your car. (a sedan jack wont be tall enough). dont rely upon a run-flat = they to can shred up
