ok guys need your help and opinons!!!!!!!!!

ok here is the problem. when i drive my car like on the express way the tires start to vibrate when i turn the wheel to the left or right. it will do it to one side then will automatically change on its own. like it will do it to one side then an hour later the other. but the steering wheel doesn't vibrate. also i though the problem was the front tires being worn so i got brand new ones and put them on the front and it didn't fix the problem. i think it was aligned and balaced to. then i looked in my haynes manaul and it says vibrating could be the wheel bearings. Im am like 95% sure it is the wheel bearings. i can't think of what else it could be. nothing in the car vibrates not even the steering wheel. you can just hear the virbrating from the tires. and it gets worse as you go faster around corners. also one more note. it doesn't start till the car has been drive for like 10-15 mintues. Has anyone ever experienced this? also i would love any information you can give me.
thank you in advance

im betting on the wheel bearings. i could almost guarantee it. pull the wheels, calipers and rotors. it might take an hour to fix.

im not so sure it would be the bearings; you would hear noise immediately (not after 10-15 minutes) and it wouldnt go away (switch from one side to the other) take the tire off and grab the rotor and give it a good wiggle, it shouldn't have any play. but if it does, then its the bearings. go ahead and change them if you want tho, it wont hurt anything and at least you can definately rule that out...

it might not take 10-15 min. but to go at least 55 it takes me 10 min to get to the road. cause by my house it is all 30mph i know it only happens when i go like 55. and sometimes if i tilt the steering wheel it wouln't happen but if i move it like a 1/4 of an inch it vibrates.
thanx 4 the help.
anymore suggestions or other ideas of what it can be?
