Tire or Bearing noise ?
On my 97 2.5 tl I get a woo woo woo sound coming from rfront and rrear wheel wells. Anyway to know for sure it would be a shame if I got another tire only to hear the noise still. Th tires are Yokos 550's with abouth half the tread life left. The balance and alignment has been done every 6000 miles like clock work,
Thanks for your suugestions and theories on differentiating beetween the two.ALso the is slight sideways movement when going real slow 5-10 mph

It's probably tire noise. Bearing noise is a constant roaring/whining that only gets worse w/ time. It's very painful to hear and tolerate. I once went on a 2000 mile trip w/ a bad rear wheel bearing on a BMW 318. I was near crazy by the time I got home.
If you can stand the noise, a little time will sort out bearing or tire. Sometimes rotating the tires can reduce a noise pattern.
good luck
