Good evening,

Were they new or used tires?

My first concern is a bad belt in the tire.

Are all the lugs tight? Loose lug nuts will do this.

The tires have 15000 miles on. I do not buy used tires.I had them rotated with my oil change last Friday.

Did the noise start after rotating the tires?

Ok, then you have a bad tire. That is the only explanation for it.

Have them check the tires in the front.
