Wobbling noise

I just noticed today that my car has a slight wobbling sound. I guess that would be the best way to describe this sound (very hard to hear). I am sure its coming either from the tires or maybe even the wheel bearing. The sound changes with the speed of the vehicle and is not dependant on the engine RPMs. It might just be a stuck rock in the tires or something. But until I get under the car to look I am just guessing here.
Do you think its the wheel bearings?
Question I have is, how often do you pack/lube your wheel bearings?
Is it something I can do on my own or do I have to take it to a dealer?
Any other thoughts on the noise?

Thanks

Front tires have about 8,000 miles on them, rears are about 1 month old.

What kind of tires do you have? I have Michelin pilot all season and brand new they make noise due to the aggressive tire tread. Now if they are actually wobbling causing the car to become unsafe get it checked out. You might need new tires and an alignment.

Nothing shakes.
Its just a slight noise that I can hear when the tires are rotating.
Not really that noticeable but I know its there.
Its not the sound of the tires. I have used these Falken GRB tires in the past and not had anything like this.

Gonna check it out tonight hope its nothing to major.

Thanks all for replying.
