Ok, So I just got the tyres balanced (balance was out about 10 grams on each rim) and rotated front to back and there is still the noise issue and slight vibration. The tyres are getting to their last 5000km so I am guessing all of this is a result of the tyres.

Any other thoughts or opinions on this?

Did you specifically ask the tyre fitter to look for abnormal wear patterns such as saw toothing on the edges? Unless you do, they will just carry on thumb in bum, mind in nuetral as the tyre assembly is covered when they are spinning the wheel on the balancer.

Did they x-rotate the tyres? (fronts to rear, rears to diagonally opposite).

I went over the tyres with the fitter and on the left hand side due to roundabouts the outside edge is more worn than the inside on the front and back. He advised not to cross rotate the tyres as the rear wear on the insides more. Either way i am going to get new tyres soon!! The noise in unbareable.
