Drive to tire store, get new set of tires,
Push and pull on top of the tire, any discernible movement probably means a bad
bearing.

And now that I think about it, the upper control arm on the right front has
been replaced recently. It’s nearly brand new. Maybe that wheel was on the
right front….
Hmm.

I found mine about 200 miles after the noise started.
By then I had 1/4" or more of axial free play at the rim when I put it on a
hoist.
No odd tire wear, just noise at times, which I think was the disk rubbing the
caliper carrier.

Good point, Randy.
As Kaleb suggested, I figured I would pop for an alignment and see what came
out of it. I know the tire place will want to sell me a set of tires, but I can
do an end run and avoid engaging with them on the sale. The affected tire is
bad enough I’ll have to replace it soon.

Is there an easy way to determine if there’s a bad wheel bearing? I’ve looked
over the bushings and suspension and didn’t see anything worn or amiss.
I’ll try and post a picture of the tire tread later today. It’s weird.
Thanks!

Probably a bad pivot somewhere in the rear suspension.
Jack it up and see if there's any slop.
If it needs a wheel bearing I've got an extra Timken on hand.

If the tire wear is uniform on the offended side, it is unlikely rim is
bent, it is more likely there is a suspension rubber allowing the wheel to
scrub rather than run true with the other three..
Suggest a in depth look at all suspension components, and a 4 wheel
alignment check. As Kaleb has
I know on the 210 the right rear tire wears a lot faster than the left side.
Also I have the same issue with the inner wear on line which has a squeaky
support joint on that side I need to replace.

So the right rear tire has some really weird wear on it. Inboard part of the
tread is really worn while the outside part of the tread isn’t, maybe 3/16
variation in tread height. It doesn’t look even, either, like it’s scalloped.
I don’t see anything amiss with the wheel, like curb rash, that
