2000 Maxima Se Tire Noise (Front Left)

Hi!

I bought this car used with 49k on it. No problems for the most part, except for this tire noise. It comes from the Driver front tire. It can be extremely loud sometimes. I get the tire noise at the loudest between 50-57 mph. I also seem to get it about 30-38 mph. I originally just thought it was the tires. I bought new tires, still had the noise. Thought maybe it would be the rim, had tires rotated, still noise....

You guys have any ideas of what I could ask a mechanic to look for? Or has anyone had this problem on their max?

Thanks!

YOU MAY WANT TO CHECK YOUR WHEEL BEARING, SOMETIMES WHEN THEY ARE MESSED UP YOU CAN GET NOISE AT CERTAIN SPEEDS AND IT CAN GET LOUDER DEPENDING WHICH WAY YOU TURN YOUR WHEEL, I HAD THAT HAPPEN TO ME WITH MY OLD CAR.
