Low speed rotating subtle grinding noise and feel in wheel. Bearings?
Another problem in the works for a while now I would like to diagnose. My experience tells me its a wheel bearing.
Low speed (under 10 mph) a rolling soft grinding. Louder noise from 10-25 mph changing with turning (more or less noise).
Any advice appreciated.
Is there an affirmative way to check the bearings on these cars?

SOLVED
Tires. Front right was a bent rim on the inner edge caused cupping on that tire. Overall though, Yokohama S-Drives wore out in about a year and were quite noisy after about six months.

Doing more research, I replaced them with Michelin Pilot Sport A/S and was also considering Continental Extreme Contact DW or DWS. On the backs I went up a tick to 285/35-18.
