It's gotta be the bearings, then. What else changes under load like that?
 
The noise should get progressively worse, but see if they'll replace them pre-emptively.

If it's not the bearings, it could be a loose bearing nut. I had this issue on the race car. We thought the bearing was bad so we stopped running it (it was the end of the 2nd day of a 2-day event) Didn't get around to pulling the hubs until a few weeks ago and found out that one of the nuts needed a 1/2 a turn and the noise went away.

When I first read the post- I too suspected the bearing and thought it was an unusually defective one. However, a friend in a 2006 330xi had identical symptoms- the dealership replaced the tire and the noise was quelled.
 
Please have tires rotated- the noise should then dissipate. Dealership will point you to a Goodyear dealer to have it replaced.

Hi All,
We had a similiar issue with our new Tribeca 07. Picked it up 2 weekend ago and noticed a slight shimmy in the front. Finally took it to the dealer today to have a remote start put in and ask them to check the shimmy. Just got the call, the belt on the tire has shifted and Tire Rack will handle the warranty. It's a bit disconcerting since it's a new car. Got the car with 12 miles. So far the wife loves it and that's what matters.

I agree, the problem is your dealer, not the manufacturer.
 
Plus, cross-posting is against the Town Hall rules.

Here you go, a story to counter your experience.
 
This guy's dealership actually bought back a brand new Subaru when the owner found his bad back just didn't agree with his Subaru's seats.
 
Incredible! Now that's service. Find a dealer like this one:

I bought a 06 Tribeca in April & suffer the same prob at 48kmh (29mph)
Still trying to sort out since April. They are offering new tyres & rims & then test drive to see if humming goes away...
Still waiting !!!!!!
