Default rear right wheel noise\ rear end noise?

recently i changed the tires on in the back only and once i drive perticularly on the high way for a good 10 min i hear a noise that becomes more appearent the slower i go, like its in intervoles the slower i go the longer the time frame the faster i go the faster the time frame. so its something thats rubbing maybe, the noise sounds like rubbing unlubed metal or kinda like brand new tires when your rolling them around a smooth dry surface. i also notice that the rim had a deep gash at two points and when i jacked it up it didnt spin true but its not that dramatic.

does anyone know what it sounds like when you need new bearings in the rear end?

or do you guys think it might just be the tire after it warms up and since the rim is not true it making that noise?

i bought a new rim thats like new and true and its on it way and im hoping that solves it.

but i really need any opions, i dont know too much on s2000

Sounds like the bearings. Jack that wheel up and try shaking the wheel. I had a loose hub nut on mine. A 1/8 turn fixed it.

affected area: rear right wheel

done the axle nut tightening

I am having similar issues, my problem begins after 15miles of hwy driving, city driving no problems. It started with a loud squeek, and now its a loud squeek with some minimal vibrations.

It squeeks at each rotation of the wheel. The car can be parked (turned off, with the hand brake on or off) i can rock the car back and forth or rock the tire in and out and the squeek is there.

I have taken it to a honda repair shop but they could not find anything wrong.

i read all through the forums and would like some suggestions.

new bearings? new bearings and axle?

want to get things correct asap, this is my daily driver.

75 miles per day driving.
symptons for 4 days now.
