Sounds like the tyre is delaminating - the steel tread is separating from the rubber and fabric tyre carcass. Run your hand over the tyre tread all the way around and see if you can feel a lump or bulge. If so, immediately swap the tyre for your spare as it will blow out at any time without warning. Good luck.

it could be your wheel bearing but you cant re pack vr/ vs bearings. its a whole hub assembly. the hub is about $400 a side if you have abs. and for non abs its around $200 a side. i bloody near choked when i did mine
