loud tires or bad bearings

[amalventano1 at tds.net (Allyn)]

the typical bad bearing sound ends up sounding like big truck knobby tires. 
you know, the ones you hear when that jacked up f150 is driving next to you. 
the sound is similar, but with bad bearings it usually fluctuates slightly 
at the speed of wheel rotation. the sound usually changes loudness while 
turning, but i've seen cases where the sound instead only changes slightly 
(like to a different type of sound) while turning.

   i just replaced the tires on my 8v with some new firestone indy 500s.
can't fault them for wet or dry tractions, but i have noticed that since
the tires and alignment there is rumbling from up front. it does get
louder in turns, both left an right, and seems to be coming from each
corner equally as loud. i also don't recall what the car sounded like
with the old tires as they had about as much tread as telly savalas has
hair. thoughts would be appreciated. thanx.
