Im getting a pretty loud tire/road noise from the front. The tread on the front isnt terrible but its not the best either. The noise is loud from 10mph to about 40mph. Not real loud after that, as well the sound goes away while the car is making a right turn, or going around a right curve. any ideas?

Good be tire noise...have the air pressure in the tires been kept up? You said the tread isn't terrible...but are the edges feathering or cupping? Is the alignment in spec? All of these things could cause the tires to wear unevenly...and if they're feathering or cupping then they could very well cause a loud growling or humming noise especially at low speeds.

Also could be a wheel bearing.
