So my both rear tires looks like this one on the picture.
I have megan racing coilovers and I know this wear sometimes is caused the the suspension and not because of toe, camber or caster. Bt if my suspension is only 1 year old what could be causing this? When I pass my hand around the tire I feel the thread going up and down

I don't think that would be caused by a wheel bearing.
In all the cases i've had bad wheel bearings, it got significantly faster as I sped up, and it was nothing like a scratching sound. Although it doesn't hurt to check. -------------------- -Protection mode, For when your amp tries to blow its load. 1995 Toyota Celica GTS - Daily Driver 1999 Chevy Cavalier - Winter Beater 1994 Honda Civic CX Hatchback - Dead My Celica! |

Although it doesn't hurt to check. if the bearing is bad enough that your rotor moves a noticable amount it can start scraping on the brake wear sensor or even the caliper bracket causing a sratching/squeaking sound, happened to the front wheel bearing on my 94 GT once. You are right though that a bad wheel bearing usually makes a growling/humming noise at about 40 mph+ that progressively gets louder with speed.
