9-5 tire howl

I have a 99 9-5SE wagon with the 17" BBS wheels and Michelin Pilot 225/45's. The tires were rotated (swapped back to front same side) at the 50K service last week. Ever since then there is a fair amount of noise from the front tires which increases with speed. At freeway speeds it is almost a howl. There is also a slight shimmy in the steering wheel around 65mph which I attribute to the wheel/tire assemblies being out of balance. Is it normal for newly rotated tires from the rear (with greater tread depth than the original front tires) to cause the noise or could being 'out of balance' cause the noise and the shimmy both? Thanks for any thoughts. DavidH
