worn front end suspension components? bad wheel alignment? hot pavement plus wide tread tires? wrong air pressure in tires? turns at to high a speed? and are you sure it's the tires?

maybe you could raise wheel and put in first gear and see if you can hear/find it? you can buy an auto stethescope from harbor freight cheap. or use a wand/tube to your ear.
