The cheapest option.

My guess would be the tyres,
When I bought my Mondeo many years ago I was pleased it had four new tyres.
They were cheap Fateo's and it was only when I changed them to KHUMOs I found out how noisy the cheap tyres were.
My X type came Pirelli ( designed for the X Type, fantastic, blah blah blah ) and when I changed to KHUMOs i could then complain about the noise around the door mirrors.
Brand or high cost does not IMO mean peaceful motoring.
If you put your old tyre on the front you may have to try it on one side then the other to see if the noise follows the other tyre.
If you identify that it is tyre noise then what are your options?
Bin, sell or store one of the new tyres and replace with a quiet one or buy two new tyres for the front.
Who funds it is another question.
