I bought a set of Kumho ASXs back in August and have put about 10k miles on them. I have found that they have gotten increasingly noisy over the past few days. This is particularly noticeable at highway speeds as they make a constant humming noise. Is this normal?

eh with Kumho's tread patterns they all hum after about 8K miles..so it's normal, but when was the last time you had them balanced? are they cupped in anyway?

Yup. Cupping or feathering will get any tire to start making noise. Check alignment if you see that happening.
