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?

I have had them changed about 2 months ago but the noise still happens. Its hard to describe the sound but its coming from the front two tyre area.

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.
