First, check to see if the plastic fender liner might be rubbing on the tire. Sometimes the liner will become detached and come into contact with the tire, especially if the wheel is turned sharply. If you can rule out the fender liner, then a bad CV joint is a real possibility. If the CV joints on this 14 year old car are the originals, then I would not be at all surprised if one–or both–are ready for replacement. ---

i would suspect the brake caliper needs looking into. possible it was not reinstalled correctly, and has gotten loose. do yo have a trusted mechanic to look at this for you? ---

I am hoping that you meant to tell us that you replaced three TIRES as a result of wear or a hole. If your wheels are showing wear or have gotten holes in them, then this car has been severely abused and there may be a really serious problem here. Please reassure us that you replaced three tires, and not three wheels!
