Michelin PS2 (High Speed Noise?)

I have some Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 on my 2003 WRX and when I hit 120MPH they start to whine real bad, but they still feel steady, it is just the noise. I had before some Bridgestone S03's and they did not do that at all. These PS2's are good tire but they just make noise at high seeps and I wanted to find out if anyone else had the same problem with them.

Don't go 120 unless you're on the track. On the track, don't worry about the noise.

Yes, I have just had an alignment when I got these tires. I got an All wheel alignment with Toe and Camber adjustment. Subaru of Dallas is who did all of this.

I've taken my car up to 150 since I've had my ps2's they don't make any excessive tire noise at all. Sometimes the weather stripping on the passenger side if your window doesn't seal right will make a very loud howling noise right around 110-120.. try cracking the window and closing it again and the noise should go away.
