Default tire Sound

Coming home from south florida yesterday. I noticed when switching lanes into the left lane, an odd sound comes from the front left tire, and I can feel it on the floorboard.
Never noticed it before, any Ideas what it could be?

Only when making high speed left hand turns?

I'd jack it up and look for lateral play in all the suspension bits on that side.

My first thoughts were balance or out of round, but that would be in a straight line too, not just when turning.

Does it do it at slow speeds (making left hand turns onto another street, for example)?

yeah, , not only high speed, Its harder to notice when making slow turns. Its most noticable if im driving down the road (any speed) and swerve back and forth, I hear and feel it when going to the left but not to the right.

1st guess: wheel bearing;

2nd guess: broken or shifted belt in the tire
