Possible howling noise in brakes CLS500 AMG

I just bought a 2006 CLS500 w/amg .... Put new tires on it because the original tires did not belong on this car, also thinking that the howling noise was the tires.... I'm thinking that it's somewhere in the front brakes.... howling is apparent mostly at the 60 mph speed... touch brakes and it seems to go away.... not 100% sure of this but is likely.

Has anyone experienced this or heard of it before?

Bridgestone Potenza S-04 pole position 255 40 18 / 285 35 18.... I was told that the car just had new brakes installed.... within this last month.

**New tires solved this problem as they had some miles put on them
