If not, swap sides so the tires run the opposite way (don't keep them that way if they are directional tires).
I have somewhat noisy winter tires. They make a distinct hum from about 25 mph down to 10: sounds very much like a wheel bearing going out.
The reoccurring pattern suggests different things are getting to their harmonic frequency.
Did the problem just start recently? A thrown wheel weight can cause this symptom or a bent rim even more likely.
A clients car has a shimmy at 52-54 mph and then again at 64-66. Is from a bent rim.

Topic update!!!!!!!!
Local shop (goodbye) said I needed my rear diff rebuilt ($1900) after seven minute test ride.
Had someone who actually used a stethoscope etc to check for bearing noises etc.
No mechanical issues found so I put a set of Michelin CrossClimate tires on it with this crazy tread pattern. Drives like a new car, quiet as a mouse.
Only question I have is what’s the feeling about tire pressure ? I’m cinda a 32 front 34 rear guy, my installer keeps putting 38 all around.
Thanks for all your help guys
