Default Roaring Noise in 2008 Honda Pilot with new tires

Have a 2008 Honda Pilot
Problem: loud roaring in front after new Cooper 235/70R/16 DTP tires. Noise increases with Speed and remains if RPMS are reduced to idle when transmission is put in neutral while traveling.

Mystery: Prior tires were Goodyear Integrity (factory installed) with 71,000 miles AND THERE WAS NO SIMILAR noise. New tire dealer says not his tires. Honda Service Mgr. (without testing ) says must be tires!

Now What???

Try rotating the tires and see if the noise follows.

Are the new tires more of an aggressive tread pattern? The tires could have a bad belt also but thats more vibration than noise. My crv hated falken tires, swapped them out to toyo and lost the vibration and noise.
