When I run my snows 265/65-15 I get very little to zero noise from my
drivers-side rear wheel bearing.  
When I run my summer 235/45-17 tyres I get quite a drone from the
drivers-side rear bearing.  
Turn left the sound goes away, straight/right the noise is about
constant.


Are the tyres the same size as before?

FYI
I'm not sure what the steel rims that my snows are on but my summer
tyres are on Borbet Type TS:  17x8.5 30mm offset.

I could be wrong, but I suppose if you had the car on a lift and dropped
the car hard, compressing the suspension past the weak shocks to the
bump
stops that are missing the rubber bumpers so the wheel bearings take the
hit.

Are you sure it's not the new tires making a droning noise different
from
the old tires?
