I'm pretty mechanically inclined and have been playing with cars for over 20 years, as a hobby and professionally, but mostly imported cars - so i'm not ignorant of any auto-related issues. So while my questions - at times - may seem pretty elementary - i only ask because i'm not familiar with domestic cars as i am with imports, but they are all pretty much the same in that they have the same issues. I just wanted you guys to know that, so you don't have to hold my hand or reply with kid-gloves
so with that out of the way - tires are pretty new and have good PSI - only about 10% tread wear. its not the road - same noise, all road conditions. i know what a bad bearing sounds like, but since its in the rear - its hard to tell. if anything - i would say its the tires - if that's the general consensus.
