Tires old Enough...?

Figured Id share with you guys my front stock Michelin PS2s from 2003 are
still on my G with 32K on them LOL. The ride lately has had that type of loud
vibration occasionally around 30-40 MPH making me think i had a bad wheel
bearing. However, i was washing my car the other day and felt the inside
of my tires(middle still have good tread) but the inside are smoother then a
babys as$. To add to that, its lumpy like its about to blow....

1. Could this be the vibration and not a wheel bearing?

2. Is this crazy wearing due to an allignment, cuz the front camber is not bad at all?

Ordered some Nitto Neo Gensat good price, hopefully they come before
my tires explode...

Thats called tire roaring or featheriing. You may want to invest in a set of tires for your ride. Scratch that I see you already did.

Nasty, you may have purchased new tires but that won't solve your problem.
Your alignment is probably +1.50 degrees which will eat up your next set of
tires too. Don't ya love that noise, every thing below 40 MPH sounds like
your in a lions den. I tried turning up the tunes but you can still hear the
ROOOOAR. Adjustable a-arms will take care of your (not bad at all) alignment.

Replace all four tires and do your alignment. That will solve your problems.
