I've had the problem when i had the original RFT's and my Michelin Super Sports, on all road surfaces/conditions. It manifests itself starting at about 45 mph in any of these conditions and also appears to be located in the upper "B" pillar area.
I may try inserting a flexible 1/4" line inside the door gasket to see if by thickening it, it reduces the noise.

I've tried taping doors and windows. I've tried stuffing backing rod foam in all seams and openings. None of the attempts I made to eliminate or reduce the noise helped. Good luck and I hope you find the cure, but I suspect nothing will work. The reason I think it's the glass thickness or insulation/sound deadening within the doors is my F36 has frameless windows vs the frames of the F30, but the noise is very similar, in the same location and same speeds but yet, the design is completely different. I don't know, but just my 2 cents.
