howling road noise from tires

About 6 months ago, I bought new 16' rims and tires for my 99' 9-3. The rims are Rona R1's (similar to Viggen rims) and the tires are Bridgestone Potenza RE730's. Initially, I was very happy with my new wheels. There was a bit more road noise with them but acceptable given the significant increase in handling and performance (and they look great). Anyway, I noticed recently that there seemed to be more noise coming from the tires. Then, a few days ago, I had them rotated and the road noise is really terrible. At 70mph it's obnoxious. I'm hoping after a few thousand miles the noise will diminish a bit. I'm really torqued about it though...I recently upgraded my sound system (via the suggestions of this board) and my now fine audio system has been eclipsed with nasty road noise.
Enough crying...any suggestions? New tires? Rotate them back to where they were?
Thanks.
