Tire or Wheel Bearing Roaring??
On my '94 Accord Ex Sedan, 5 speed manual. From the right rear side, while i was going about 40 and up MPH, It'll start to roar load, Loader than my Exhaust. You Can't even hear my exhaust, a little but i was wondering if anyone what it could be, Is it the Wheel Bearing Roar, or just the back tire, because those tires are worning out too. So please Help...

If you have bad tires, it very well could be those. Put the car in the air and wiggle the r/r tire and wheel to see if it has any play. If it does, then get a new hub/bearing assembly. If not, try rotating your tires and see if the noise changes or goes away. If it does, get new tires. Also check your brakes, it could be noise from those also.

You don't have to have excessive play (wiggle motion) on the wheel to mean a bad wheel bearing.
Raise the right rear with a jack and spin the tire as fast as you can. If you hear a roar, or grinding noise, it's probably a bad wheel bearing. If it does't make any discernable noise, you could have a broken belt in your tire. They get loud too.

You can also do this and not hear anything at all because there is no weight on the wheel/tire. The bearing assy may still be bad.
