If you have a lot of snow and ice build up inside your wheel well it can become dislodged or rub when suspension is compressed. Knock that stuff off and see if it happens again.

225-40 series should not be an issue.
Maybe it's your shocks... they tend to do this loud scratching noise when they're cold & you hit bumps.
Enough to freak you out at first.
It's pretty loud and it does sound as if your wheels were touching the inside of the front fender.
If it goes away after the car gets warmer and a few minutes of driving, that might be it.
