I swapped out my 17" w/ Bridgestones for my 19's w/ kuhmos.

Left the 17"s stacked in the garage for two months. Until last weekend, I had a long drive so I reinstalled the 17"s on my car. Well, now I have obnoxious road noise and slight vibration. The tires look fine, have 30psi and all. :shifty It sounds like a monster truck under 20mph.

Wheel bearings?

Your tires are probably out of round as a result of the storage. They may go back to normal after you put some miles on them. Check to be sure you haven't lost any wheel weights.

sounds like minor flat spotting due to storage like frank said... you can bump up the pressure and drive it off... it will round back up eventually...

fill them up with more air and they will probaly round out again.
if it was a wheel bearing you would have heard the noise with the 19'' wheels as well.
