Vibrating Noises =(

I'm going to give as much information as possible about first my problem(s) and second my car and nothing additional so that you all might help me pinpoint the cause. Okay here goes,

My problem:
-an obnoxious undertone-like vibrating noise that echos throughout the cabin from no distinguishable location
-noise has become more pronounced over the past month
-100% speed related (no change when clutch in or out at any speed).
-rate of vibration increases w/ increasing speed
-kindof a wum.......... wum....... wum.....wum.. wum wum wum (as you speed up)
-began ~6/28/06

My car:
-97' Integra LS --> (113,000 miles)
-Eibach Pro-System Kit (1.4" drop) w/ front and rear ingalls camber kits (installed 1/06)
-Konig Tantrums (acquired 8/00)
-Dunlop SP Sport FM901 215/40WR17 up front (1 year old)
-Michelin Pilot 215/40R17 out back (1.5 years old) (left rear has been repaired once from a runover screw)


Possible problems? I have a few ideas but maybe you can advise...
Some have said I need new tires. Others have said my wheel bearings are going. Could it be my axles? plz plz advise!

new tires sounds like a possibility. And having two differnt tire brands/models anc be bad. Tires can get pretty loud. Other than that there are the wheel bearings.

So I went and bought two new tires today. Got some Yokohama Avid H4's to replace my michelins, and they seem great (still got my two dunlops). Unfortunately, they didn't fix the problem. I did, however get some great advice from the guy at the tire place and he helped me find the problem:

The wheel bearing on my front right is going out pretty badly. By driving slowly and steering right and left you can hear the bearing noise get louder and quieter when the weight shifts on and off the bearing. He quoted me at about $200 for parts and labor, so I think I'll have it repaired this coming weekend. Thanks for your help and advice.
