Got a pre-owned Q3 2.0 TDI Manual last week. Previous owner did not change the stock (Bridgestone Dueler hp sport) which are now 3+yrs old. I do hear loud noise which varies on acceleration. I somehow feel it may be the tyre but confused. Its not as loud as wheel bearing but at times I get confused between wheel bearing or the tyre.

The tyre does show some cracks due to age but sidewall is perfect, I can see some good thread dept too.

So is this noise because of tyre age or could be wheel bearing?

Car has 33000km on it
