Default Wheel problem help...

Recently I had replaced one of my wheels and tires. Now whenever I get above approximately 25-30 mph I hear a loud noise from the said wheel/tire.At first I attributed it to the tire being new and just needing break-in, however, it should have subsided by now. I'm beginning to think that the wheel perhaps wasn't balanced correctly when the tire was mounted, but I do not feel any vibration. Could it be a slight off-balance that does not transmit much vibration, but instead just makes lots of noise? TIA

hmm, sounds like tread, just really loud, like if I had snow tires.

Default its a bearing, no doubt about it, i just went through replacing both drivers...

side bearings. That is the exact same way i descibed it to my dad and my mechanic. I said "it sounds like big truck tires". I got the beraings from shokan for 55 and 80(i think it was 80), but anyway get the kit you get a new bolt and few other things, it makes it easier on the mechanic(or you). Good luck
