Default Front tire whine

07 supercrew running 20" Dueler Alenzas purchased from Costco. I've started hearing what I would call tire whine in the front. You can also hear it with the windows up. They been rotated somewhat regularly. Don't recall hearing anything like this with the original Perrelli Scorpions. Any ideas???

Does it start a little over 30 MPH it may be a bad wheel bearing.

Yea, somewhere around 20+ mph. I was told jack the front up and see if there is any top to bottom play with the tire. There was non. Is that accurate to check bearings?

Sometimes it's hard to tell by using that method. The hubs in my Jeep were toast and the tires had no play, once I removed the hub off of the knuckle they flopped all over the place.
