Default Cupped tire sound from front end

I have a 98 Honda Accord 4dr ex 4 cylinder with automatic. It has 110 thousand miles. I was told that the tires were cupped because the struts where shot. I replaced all the struts and put on new tires and had 4 wheel alignment. The car still sounds like it has a bad set of cupped snow tires on it. The noise comes from the front end. I am broke now and still can't find out what is causing the noise. HELP

Regards,
Craig

Wheel bearings maybe?

Thanks for the help. It turned out to be the right front bearing. I posted another question about my automatic trans having a sloppy 1st to second shift. I heard hat a company called Howards somewhere in the LA area made great rebuilt transmissions but can't find out about them.

Again thanks for the information.\
