My 98 cavalier has a slight noise when driving around 50-60 and turning right, just following curve in road. It sorta sounds like it could be a tire noise. That tire was recently replaced. it had a sidewall failure was only one replaced. I had to have a shop to do it beacause a lugnut was rounded off. Could this be a wheel bearing starting to go?
slight "rubbing" noise when turning right at cruising speed

CV joint is a possibility, although you typically hear it at lower speeds.
What was the damage to the tire you had replaced? Something rub thru the sidewall. The only way to find out is to remove the tire and inspect the suspension. Could be the bushings coming out of the lower A frame which is common on the Cavalier to a broken suspension part. Anything here is pure speculation...
