Does your front tire make a lot of noise? Mine isn't very old but it howls at times & is noisy. Hard to describe. Sounds like a cupped tire, but I can't see any cupping. Tire pressure is correct. Balanced correctly to. The ride is ok.
Wondering if it's normal or do I have a bad tire
What's your tire pressure at
does it make the howling when you are leaning in a turn.
Also take a look and see if the running direction is right.

I run 40 psi in the front and 43 psi in the rear cold.
the noise you are getting it the same as I got on my last front tire that I ran 36 psi in and as the miles got up there 12-14 k the tread on the side got wavy you really had to look close to see it, then after a wile I started to get front end shake when no throttle at about 15 MPH if I took one hand off the bars.
Anyway I was told to run 40 psi front 43 psi rear and that would help to keep that from happening.
