If you have tyres with a blocky tread and are driving it hard through corners, you may wearing the leading edge of the tread blocks faster than the trailing edge, particularly on the edges of the front tyres.
Put your hand on your front tyre and feel along the tread on the inner and outer edge of the tyre. If you can feel one tread block's edge is higher than the edge next to it, then this uneven wear is probably your cause of the noise.
Try swapping the tyres front to back. If the uneven wear is only on the inner or outer edge of the tyres, you may need to have your wheel alignment checked also.
You could try taking the corners a little slower.....(didn't think so) or buy tyres that are less blocky and wont wear like this. Good luck and have fun but drive safe.
If they are all terain or off road tyre's then it's normal if it has road tyre's then it would be best to get it checked wheel bearings and brakes.

they are all terrain tires, brand spanking new, no wear at all. i was thinking they need to be driven on for a while to reduce the noise...it's not bothersome, just wanted to know that it is normal...thanks!
