It's so loud I have to turn the radio way up. The first time I took it to the dealer for this, they blamed it on my worn OEM tires. Since, I've installed snows and same effect. Anyone experience this? Loudest at 50mph and quieter at slower/faster speeds, but still noticeable. Makes my car feel VERY cheap. Wheel bearing?

When a wheel bearing fails its bad news. usually means tow truck, could be as severe as costing you a tire and wheel. get it fixed FAST.
