Default Hum from Michelins

Here's the situation. I had some Michelin Latitudes put on by Sam's Club a few months back. I didn't notice any hum (doesn't mean it wasn't there, though) at the time, but now it sounds like I have A/T tires on when I am going straight and turning left. It doesn't sound like I have super mud tires on, but there is a hum and a slight vibration that increases, particularly between 30mph and 60mph. (It is a speed thing, not an RPM thing)

BUT...when I turn right, the sound goes away. The truck goes straight when I take my hand off the wheel, so I don't think alignment is an issue. I just took it in for the 90K service - I didn't bring it up and they didn't notice - I was hoping it would go away when they rotated the tires.

Any ideas?
