Is it my wheel bearing or tires (rs3's)
Long story short. Humming sound from the rear of the car after 60. It goes away the slower I go. I did axle cup swap about 2 months ago with S2Kwalt and everything went perfect no noise or vibrations after. Install new rs3's and sounds starts about a 2 months later. Could it be just a noisy tire or a bearing

Sounds like a bearing test it by lifting the car up and wiggling in and out from top to bottom if the tire moves is the bearing

I had a rear bearing problem and replaced it a few years ago. This does not sound like a bearing or at least the way mine sounded.
I had many people diagnose mine and many thought it was a tire, mine was more of a clicking sound and the hotter it got the noisier it was, speed was also a factor it made more noise at low speeds vs highway speeds. This may have been a factor of simply being able to hear it more at low speed due to road noise etc.
A quick way to check is to jack up the rear and face the tire, grab it at 3 & 9 o'clock and try and rock it back and forth (in & out) if the wheel has any play you have a bearing problem. The movement may be very small but at speed it is magnified obviously.
If this is the problem have it fixed immediately as this is obviously a dangerous situation. I had mine done at the dealer, (not everyone is equipped to press the bearing into the hub), also have them check the hub to make sure it isnt damaged. I chose to replace mine while we had it apart and the total bill was just under $400 (new bearing, new hub and labor)
Good Luck!
