Thanks for all the replies.
Went back to my tire place, and we found out the problem. Turns out there WAS some unusual wear on them. Did a fair bit of driving the weekend, and they are quieting down substantially. Actually, these are amazingly good tires! Never had a bad Michelin, and these ones aren't changing that impression at all!

I have Winterforce snows on mine and i have the same thing. This is normal for some snow tires. When i put my summer tires on there is no noise, and both of my wheel bearings have been changed last summer.
