Could be uneven wear on the tyres, causing lopping.

I had this same thing with some Chinese made tyres on my Passat. It took about 2000km to bed the blasted things in - HORRENDOUS road noise, squeeling etc. I thought I had bad bearings again.

Worst tyres I ever got though were Continental Conticomfort. Wore out in under 5 months, and I had to have both replaced - on Continental's coin - because BOTH original ones were bad tyres (out of round).

Best I have ever had? Michelin. No doubt about it. I blew a rear tyre recently, and put the spare on. The last of the ORIGINAL Michelin's that the car was sold with from new, 11 years ago. Yes, I am driving on an 11 year old tyre, and it is better than the new junk on there now.
