And a bit of clarification.

Tires can develop irregular wear and make noise without there being any apparent wear issues. Allow more time and the noise and the wear will become more apparent.

The preventative measure is rotation and alignment.

If it is that bad then take to a mechanic . It shouldnt take that much to figure out . It is obviously something that rotates whether it tires , bearings (I doubt it) or even a serpentine belt slapping against something if it is starting to come apart . If you can feel it I wouldnt drive it too far .
