Tires can sometimes start to make throbbing noises after some wear (some sound pretty bad brand new). At 50k, if you haven't replaced the tires, that's a possibility. If you are sensitive to road noise and need new tires I have found the Yoko Avid H4S to be quiet and well performing all season-perf tire but don't know how it works on the SS.
I recently had a wheel bearing go out in my '87 900T and the noise was very similar to bad tires (sometimes its an even groan-like sound but this time it was more of a throbbing that got louder w/ time). Hard to believe it would be bearings this early but then again I also find it hard to believe that rotors need to be replaced at 30k (my 900T rotors lasted for ~185,000 miles--guess THAT era is over ;).
