Re: What is this sound coming from my rims/tires??
I listened to the vid - which is a great idea, BTW - but I'm not sure which tire noise I'm supposed to be hearing, since there are plenty of other noises (engine noise, etc).
Can you describe the noise? What does it sound like? Is it rhythmic or constant?

if it's a constant humming, maybe you have directional tires which you installed backwards, happened to me before.

Interesting. It could be a lot of things.
Bearing: Try to grab the wheel at 12 and 6 when it's off the ground to see if there is play. Search further on this subject for more details.
Tire: It could be installed backwards, it's possible.
Wheel: There could be some debris or something that got caught inside and is rubbing somewhere.
This is just off the top of my head.

Re: What is this sound coming from my rims/tires??
The most likely cause of a rhythmic squeaking such as you describe is brake pads that are too thin and need changing. (And yes, they can squeak even when you're not stepping on the brakes.)
On many of our cars, you can visually check the thickness of the top of the outer brake pad by looking through the spokes of the wheels. It's not as thorough as removing the wheel and looking at the full length of both pads, but it still can give you an indication of their thickness, and it's easy; you just look at them. A flashlight will help. If you're not sure how to do this, ask a friend with some mechanical ability to show you.
