Default Rear end making loud noises

I have a 98 ex, it has 16inch tires on it. When im driving around 50mph the rear tires make a roaring noise much like a truck does. Anyone know what this might be, or does anyone have the same issue?

Bad wheel bearing(s), rim(s) out of round, wheel(s) need balacing.

That's off the top of my head, could be other causes as well.

either a bad wheel bearing or the tires could be chopped. if the tread is chopping it could be an alignment issue or a bad strut

More than likely a wheel bearing> i have the same problem and that's what needs to be done.
