tyre noise...and wind noise

So
i've had my X2 now for 1 month.

No issues with ride comfort, especially as I have adaptive suspension and run it on normal most of the time. But even on 'sport' mode although it's noticeably firmer, it's not jarring.

On the downside the tire noise on the 19" Continental RFTs that came with the car is pretty noticeable, esp after 100kmh.

Also the wind noise again around that speed is quite apparent.

I'm hoping that when time comes to change my tyres I can find a quieter non-RFT. However, with the wind noise there's not much to do except accept it. It's not thaaaat bad, just noticeable.

cheers
