Humming oscillation sound 2011 535xi 68k

Hey guys, I've recently noticed this humming /oscillating noise at all speeds over 25mph where the tempo increases with car speed. Did some research and found some open threads pointing to bearing/hub replacement. I was going to get my tires replaced this week anyway so that should eliminate tires as the issue if the sound persists (going from stock 45R18 to 50R18). I do have a feeling its the bearings (saw a video with the exact same sound -
). Anyone experience something similar recently?

Update: The noise was due to worn our tires, they reached the tire wear bar. Just got the brand new Driveguards RFT and am very pleased. the car drives like new. The cabin noise disappeared. They dont feel like run flats. The seem to take a side on bumps but have to drive more to know more. So far i'm just glad the oscillating sound is more.
