It’s hard to hear. Lots of background noises, like driving in the tunnel.

Is the sound always there or when you turn?

Is it possible you installed tires that are too big and are rubbing on something when you turn? Tire Rack shows 245/40-21 as max size and you have 245/45-21.

It sounds like tire rubbing against something, perhaps a wheel well.

Did the sound start after you changed your tires?

If you still have the original set, put it on and see if you can replicate the sound. If not than the issue is with new set.

I am not a tire expert but you might have an issue with the wheels.

According to the link below 235/45R20 should be 20x8 not 9. Not sure what the difference is.

This is one of the reasons I only use stock rims. You've now spend God knows how much money and the car drives worse than it did from the factory.

Look at the inside of the tire after you have done your full turn left & right while moving and see if there are any rub marks on the tire.
