Whats causing this noise?

Just got my car back from the dealer. When I'm driving theres like a rough noise coming from like underneath the car like if there was a bad bearing in one of the wheels or if one of the brake calipers was stuck. The dealer checked it all out and they told me its my tires which are almost bald. I have had the same tires all the time and I have never heard this noise. Anyone have any ideas? Could it be tires causing the noise?

Does it get louder when you're turning/cornering?

I cant say for sure. Its not really bad and I just noticed it while I was driving on the highway. The snake service guy at infiniti didnt even tell me about the noise so I was a little hesitant to to call and ask. I drove it only on a straight but Ill be taking a different highway tomorrow that has some nice turns and I'll be able to tell you.

Infiniti service guy said hes 95% sure its tires but thats because tires is the only thing that I COULD replace on the car. A CV joint snapped on my rear left axle but they replaced the entire thing along with the bearing in the rear left where it snapped. The noise was not there before and I always had the same tires so thats why I dont believe them.

I also ordered new tires because he said he wont proceed with further diagnosis unless I get new tires.
