Noise from RFs, am I on track?
06 MCS 16" Dunlop RFs 15K miles.
I'm hearing a lot of noise that sometimes sounds like bad wheel bearings, sometimes like old bias ply snow tires. This is especially loud below 50 mph. Is this typical noise from half worn out RFs? These are my first ever set of RFs.
If this noise is truly from the tires, this alone is enough to dump the RFs now. I don't have a buddy near to do a swap and listen test.
Thanks for your opinions.

I agree that it is probably your tires. My OE Dunlop run flats lasted until 25k. Noise levels have been increasing for the last 5-8k miles and it did sound like a bearing on the way out.
There was some tread left on the tires at 25k but once we removed the wheels we noticed that the inner edge of all of the tires was well worn.
I took it in for an alignment yesterday and discovered that Toe was out of spec all around which is what caused the wear. Tires worn by bad toe often sound like a bad wheel bearing fyi.
