Humming noise from the tires (07 TL-S)

Hello my fellow members, was wondering if any of you are experiencing the same issue I'm having with my car. Just brought my car to the dealer for a humming noise I've been hearing for the past couple of weeks. I would only hear it if I'm going past 35 mph and on. The faster I go, the louder the noise gets. It's pretty annoying. I just got a call from the dealership and they came back telling me that the tires were making humming noise. Does that sound right? I bought the car with the Aspec package and the tire is OEM. I thought it might be a wheel bearing issue or something but they said they checked that and it wasn't the problem. Let me know what you guys think?

Are they Uni-directional tires? If so and they are on the wrong side (perhaps from a tire rotation), they will hum like crazy.

Michelin MXM4?

Those are the stockies on mine, and they suck. I only have 8,900 miles on them and I'm thinking of getting rid of them. The wet traction sucks.
