Drone Noise

[roundy]

I have this "drone" noise that's comming from the back end at the moe, sounds like wheel bearing almost but is only noticeable at about 30-40mph. It also sounds a lot slower than a typical wheel bearing noise...?!

Any ideas?

yup wheel bearing or feathered tyres

What do you mean by feathered tyres?

when you run your hand over the tyre gently is it bumpy one way smoother the other?? on the tread wearing more on one side to the other

Not too sure, will check over the weekend. If I jack the car up and find no play in the bearings, could they still be shot?

id say the wheel bearing as mine was more noticeable between 40-60.. Started off quite quiet but gets annoying soon lol

Also check the brakes arent burning after driving. as said above could also be a stuck brake.. You should be able to feel it though after driving for a bit
