ok so ONLY my front left tire is making MASSIVE road noise. like enough to compete with the sound system. now thats not to bad, but the issue is i get very bad vibrations too and when i turn the wheel to the left the vibrations get worse, but to the right they get a little better. well it was with 2 different tires, both traction t/a. like it was going on with both old and new tires. Something caused MASSIVE inside tire wear. so i got new front tires and realigned, but they still vibrate and make massive noise.

as i said my alignment it fixed now. but do ppl agree its the wheel bearing, thats what im kinda thinking.... whats this harm. and how expensive it to replace. also will a shop have to do it or could i do.
faith. as i said also this is with old tires AND brand new ones. so its not worn...

I know that this might sound crazy but have you checked to see if you have ran over a screwq? I had kinda the same thing happen to me I heard a humming noise as well and it took me a bit but found a screw that was being eaten up when I was driving had it plugged and been fine every since.

I have this same problem.. when I accelerate it becomes more and more noticeable, yet when I let off the gas and begin braking, the noise diminishes.
My assumption is that it is the tire pressures in the front tire(s).
I never really thought about it being the bearings before, but it very well could be.
It sucks. Just got my 60,000 mile tune up and I have an exhaust manifold crack, seatbelt problems, massive road noise (almost as if it's rubbing somewhere) and a headlight out, well, that's nothing new.
I'm going to go get my tire pressure gauge and check the PSI. I have a feeling one of them is a tad low.

My Driver's side front wheel bearing is on it's way out. It starts to rumble when I turn the wheel left. I took it to one of the few people I trust.. got a quote of $165 to do it. I was expecting closer to $300, so I can live with that.
