holy road noise batman!
I will end your searching, wheel bearings hand down. Had to replace my drivers side front when i got my car, the noise/whining was UNBEARABLE and got worse as speeds increased! Its not your tires

Could very well be WB's. Try turning your wheel to the left/right when coasting in neutral (use smart judgement where, etc) and see if the noise goes away. If so then your front wheel bearings are shot, inspect the tires as well even if it is your bearings.

Yeah, at 70+mph I also have difficulty talking on my phone, eating french fries, holding my latte-halfdecaf and lighting a cigarette. Oh wait, this thread is about road noise and I don't smoke. Nevermind.
I had P-zeros and a bad front left wheel bearing. My vote goes towards the bad bearing. Do you get any steering wheel vibration?

Get the car checked out and report back, so we know if we should get the stuff to smoke from Marty or get it elsewhere.

If possible try to hook up with another owner and put his wheels on your car. I used this approach when I had a slight shimmy that I wanted to see if it was tire/rim and it definately eliminates or determines the problem.
