tick, tick, tick, tick

At least that is what it sounds like, comming from the rear end. It increases in frequency with increasing speed of the car. Does not appear to be engine related, because when I push the clutch in while rolling, I still hear the tick, tick, tick. Any ideas on what can be causing the noise, and please dont tell me that is what bad wheel bearings sound like.

BTW, this weekend I will be changing wheels to the set with the all-weather Falken 512 tires, I will poke around under the car and see if I can locate possible source of the noise. Its, time to change wheels not only because its getting colder, but also the PS2's on the rear almost have 5K on them, and, yes, sure enough, I am down to the wear markers on the inside.

Randal, how are your rear set of PS2's doing? I know we got ours at about the same time, I have gone through two sets of rears so far, still have a fair amount of tread on the fronts, looks like I will go through three sets of rears for one set of fronts, interesting.
