Yup mine started making noise at like 60k and I thought it was the tires as well but come to find out it is the skf bearings in the rear. I have 65k on it now. The noise was just to loud to be tires because the tires werent showing any signs of funny wear or anything. Now when I have the windows down I can distinguish the small whine from my tires and the wheel bearing sound.
