When I am driving and I am turning slightly to the right this loud humming or grinding noise comes from my right front tire. When I am on the highway at a higher speed it sounds even louder and worse. Lately now when I am turning to the left I hear just a slight humming noise from the left front wheel area. I have just bought new all season tires thinking maybe that would help but it didn't. Do you have advice?

You don't mention the make, model or year. I would guess that it is a front wheel drive vehicle that has a cv joint problem or bearing going bad. Good luck and let us know.

They are usually all 1 unit and very widely from vehicle to vehicle. $75 to $150 from what I've dealt with.
