The Good and Bad

The Good:
Just got new tires (Bridgestone RE760's) after my over used ones tried to hydroplane me into a ditch. So far very very good tires even in the wet.

The Bad:
Now I hear a droning noise (bearnings) so I have to replace atleast the front.

The fronts I could tell by putting it up on a hoist and accelerating a bit and could hear the drone, there was no movement of the tire just noise. Anyone know a way to tell if the backs are bad as well?
