Pedro, by that logic, if it's the tires, shouldn't the "whom whom" sound be more prevalent even more when the top is down than when it is up? I have what I think is a bad rear wheel bearing sound, but I hear it more when he top is up at, and traveling at around 40mph. The sound seems prevalent even when coasting down to 5mph, but seems to disappear after 50mph. Also, when top is down, I can hardly notice the noise.

When I make a sudden turn of steering wheel, the noises do not change. When I lift the car and turn or pull on the wheel/tires, no noises. Sound has been going on for years with different sets of tires. Not loud to the point of driving me crazy, so haven't done anything about it, but is occasionally annoying.
