I would like to add that if you do have that movement, the bearing has gone really bad. In my case, it didn't have such play.

Also, I forgot to say using spacers also deteriorate bearings faster. It could have affected my ride since I used the 20mm and 25mm spacer combo for a while.

BTW, what is your car's mileage? And also, have you checked your specific tire model reviews on tire rack . Com (or some other site). Although you don't seem to have many miles on your current tires, some are loud depending on their design (like the BFG Sport Comp A/S I rode for a while), some are fine at first and then get noisier after a while.

Did you see anything (slight bobbing) on tired wheels while they were getting balanced, sped up on machine?
