Thanks, so what looked bad about the tires? Could you see cupping?

Oh, for sure. It's also possible to ruin a bearing when you press it in..

I've had both situations.

If you turn left and it makes noise, it's on the right side.

as I mentioned earlier, turning left loads the front right

Not necessarily. It depends on which side of the bearing failed...

MOST often, it's the outer row. BUT, if it's the inner row, the symptoms can be reverse of the normal. I found though, that the sound the inner row makes is wholly different than when the outer row fails. It's less roar, more whir.

Suspected wheel bearing... could it be anything else?

Does bad front wheel bearing noise behave differently from rear wheel bearing?

Distinct
