Try swapping the wheel for one off the rear, if that doesn't help then like the other posters consider drive shaft.

Before replacing drive shaft try repacking the CV joints with the correct grease, many's the time doing so has seen CV couplings and therefore drive shafts last many more years.

Tyres are brand new as another attempt at resolving the issue

No leaking or any noise from CV boot, could driveshaft be worn without these?

Yep. Driveshaft has two ends...

You haven't eliminated a wheel till you've swapped one over, could be one slightly out of shape...i hadn't realised how fragile some of these oversized alloy wheels are until my daughter's chap had to have several on his hot Honda straightened out after driving on typical Northamptonshire third world road surfaces, he's now got rid of the OE 19" set made of cheese and fitted a set of 18" BBS in their stead.

CV joints don't have to be noisy to need some fresh grease, repacking my own CV joints over the years as part of long term maintenance has seen me personally never have to replace a drive shaft, don't think i've replaced a CV joint either come to think of it, the inner joint is just as important as the outer.
