Hi All

3-4 weeks ago I had 4 brand new tyres fitted tracking done and a drivers side wheel bearing replaced this eradicated the previous grumbly wheel bearing noise but I now have a humming but can find no play or vibration in the steering could this be the new bearing.

It could just be your new tyres. Does the sound change on different road surfaces?

Yeah sort of more noticebale on smoother roads and really annoying rough roads it tends to disappear, theyre budget/medicore tyres

I've had this with tyres,different brands can sometimes be noisier than others.

I've just put my Bridgestone Blizzaks on for winter - it really does sound like I have all 4 wheel bearings close to death I certainly wouldn't recommend these to anyone that has to drive without the stereo turned up loud

Tyres fitted the right way around?

Hmm good question i will have to check does it tell you what way round they should be

If they're directional they should say so, probably with an arrow just in case you're illiterate Unless they're Michelins which just have an inside and an outside
