Default Wheel bearing or not?

I have searched "wheel bearings" and read up on the archived articles but I am still unsure if that is the problem.

At first I thought it was just my Kuhmo tires but now I have my winters on and the problem is the same but at different speeds. Its like "road noise" no clunking or something like that. When I turn right the noise goes away but not when I turn left or when going straight the noise is back. Steering wheel does vibrate at high speeds too. Like 100Km/h and up really bad around 130-140.

help please

Jack up the front of the car and spin each wheel. If you hear a slight grinding noise then it's the wheel bearings.

Default Re: (Kendall)

I spun each wheel and no grinding or wheel play at all. normal stuff. If I were to "slalom" my car the noise goes away when I turn the wheel towards the passenger side but not when I when I turn it to the drivers side. It couldn't be something like an alignment or something as simple as my tires not being balanced would it?
