Have you pulled the wheels off to inspect the back sides of the tires? Also check the wheel wells very carefully with a good light to look for signs of rubbing. If the new tire/wheel combination has a larger rolling radius, or a wider profile or a different offset, the chances of interference with the wheel well are pretty good because there isn't much room to spare.
If you can positively rule out any tire-to-wheel-well interference, then the next likely candidate is a bad wheel bearing. You might try spinning the wheels when they are off the ground. That may produce the noise, but may not without a load.
Could also be a dragging parking brake.
