Tires make weird noise when accelerating

This is just one of the many problems this 2005 3.0i has had recently. Months ago, shortly after the tires were replaced, the tires have been making this sound when I accelerate either after the car shifts in D or SD or I shift it in M. This doesn't happen when it's shifted at at least 5000 RPM.

This seems to be affecting the traction, and as a result, the acceleration speed. I'm not entirely sure, but I could have sworn the car was a bit faster before. Now I find myself having to drag race stubborn drivers with cheaper cars at full throttle when trying to pass or merge. For example today I failed at merging in front of a little old Dodge truck when we were both flooring it. There is something so wrong with that picture. Who knows if that's a tire problem though.

Regarding the noise, do you think this is a tire or drivetrain problem or something else? Could the tire change have been a fail? I'm not very auto savvy so bear with me.
