Tyres that came with the alloys. 3 Goodyear f1 and 1 tornado. Tornado front right.
It's worse when braking from 30mph to a stop or turning left?
It's not a bearing etc. as I drove the car 100 miles this morning. Changed the wheels and now noise?

Try putting 2 Goodyear on the front and see if it makes a difference. Two different tread patterns can make a horrible noise.
You might also want to check if the tyres have rotation markings on them and that they are rolling the right way.

Just changed the Goodyear to the front and now it's slightly worse.
If they are warped is it fixable? I am not getting and vibration just the rumbling noise also pulling slightly to the left?
This might be a stupid question. I have used the same wheel nuts I had on the car? The original wheels were 14" peugeot alloys.

Does it woble your steering wheel at higher speeds ??
If it does then your wheels are buckled or out of balance,
My vortex's are out of balance due to the crap company that refurbed them and ground the rim back unevenly before I got the car and when I hit 65-70 mph the wheel starts to shake baddle and the car rumbles.
Also when I slow down from higher speeds without using brakes it wobbles more than accelerating.
I don't think it's your brakes by the sounds of it or you'd have noticed that before you changed the alloys ??

Well your alloys are fine then and it's probably not your brakes, could be tyres.
