Can't comment on bad wheel bearings 2006+, but my 9000

Had a front wheel bearing go bad on 1988 9000 years ago, and a rear bearing got noisy six years back on my then year-old 2004 Acura. Since then I've had an experienced mechanic show me how he diagnoses a bad bearing by feeling for subtle vibration in the suspension links or strut while hand-rotating the wheel. He pointed out that often he has to remove the brake pads to do this. I hope it's your tires, but the occasional bad bearing shows up. I've now had multiple cars over the 200K mile mark with only the two bad bearings that I mentioned.
