growl in the rear wheel

[stoev]

Dear Community

before I will visit a garage I will ask you.

I went to holiday from 2 weeks ago and did a 700miles trip with the Ex.
after 600 miles when crossed the borders I drove around 25miles/hour and speed up to 40miles and heard a deep growl from the back left wheel who where louder until 50miles. From 50miles to 75miles it sound constantly same and after 75miles it sounds to be quieter, but not sure, because of the environment and speed.

First was my thought it can be the bearing wheels after I discussed with a friend he told me that it can be also the tire.

specs from the Ex:

2011 Limited
77K Miles (124'000 KM)
New tires (1month old) Falken Azenis FK510

What are you thinking? any ideas or better experience?

Since you state it's one wheel, I'd suspect wheel bearing myself. Can you rotate/switch sides that the rear tires are on to test/confirm?

If you plan to swap wheels, I think it would be best to move it to the front, away from the rear.

I also suspect wheel bearing.
But, you should also check to see if you lug nuts are tight and not loose.
