@702 woke up earlier than I did this morning.......... C3 was my first guess. My exact symptoms, but mine also changed pitch while riding thru a sweeping curve at the same MPH. OP, how long ago did you buy it and how long/miles have you ridden it. Also, what is the date code on it. I was hoping the Michelin had taken care of this by now.........
so . I think you are right. Got home, fired up, went down the road, put on cruise control as soon as I heard the noise, started to lean left and right and as soon as I lean the sound disappears. Guess I will be getting new tires tomorrow.

Yep, that's what many of us experienced. Without boring you with all the details, I put a Dunlop AE on the front to replace the bad C3, and ran the rear C3 until it wore out. The bike handled fine and I had no issues at all. I've become a huge fan of the Dunlop AE, they are an excellent tire.
