Surprised dealer would allow that for insurance purposes.

I have the same noise. Pretty sure it's the run-flat tires. A loaner E-class had the same issue. I have a post here about an 80 MPH hum, most likely the tires.

Yep my Good year Sport Run Flats do that. My Michelin Primacy ZP's on the Cabrio don't.

The good thing for the shop foreman is if he/she gets any tickets from a speed camera, you have to pay them. It's a win-win situation for the both of you...
