Tire wear and causes wisdom needed
I've searched a lot on here yesterday and it seems I have one of a few problems...bent axle, bent spindle, bad suspension parts, bad wheel bearing, or a **** tire. Pretty much covers all the options....

I did find that when I got the tire off the ground and spun the wheel freely, you can definitely hear something dragging or humming. Sounded a lot like a roller skate bearing that is bad, so I am making a preliminary assumption that the wheel bearing is bad. That said the wheel did not wobble as some indicated it would if the bearing was bad. Seems to really have worn the tires down quickly for it, but if it's dragging it would make sense.
Could the noise be the brakes?

It had to be recent and quick, as I've hauled way too many miles with it to not have seen the gradual wear pattern over time.
If the dealer finds a problem, and covers it, try to get them to cover the tire too. If the dealer is good distance, carefully check the spare too....
