Goodyear Run Flats came on my 2000 convertible. They were OK on
macadam but very loud on cement. Mid-America sells stuff for the
inerior than dampens the sound. I replaced the Goodyears at about 45K
miles with Michelin ZP (Zero Pressure) Run Flats. They were much
quieter.

I would suggest you partner up with some local Vette owners and take a
ride to determine whether your tires are unacceptable.
