Im pretty sure my rear bearings are bad. My ride is real noisy and it makes a weird somewhat grinding noise at low speeds. High speeds i cant really hear it.

I also noticed my rear tires have uneven tire wear (my tires arent evenly round anymore). Is this the result of the bad rear bearings or could it be something else?

Thanks in advance for any info/help

Could be brakes too... did you hear the noise only coming from one side? If so, listen for it when you turn left/right... it should stop when the load is off the opposite side. Youl could also jack up the rear, hold the wheel at 9 + 3 o'clock and pull one side will pushing one side... if you have some flex, then it's your bearing.

When I mean the tires in the rear arent evenly round.....I mean it has flat parts; kinda like a hexigon. Kinda hard to explain so hope you guys know what im talking about.

Don't think wheel bearings are to blame for your tires. Out of balance will cause tires to wear with high and low areas as the tire bounces, componded by weak struts. Follow Keith's suggestions for checking bearings.

Aite thanks for the help guys. Im pretty sure the bearings are gone from searching it seems like the symptoms I have but gonna do what keith suggested to make sure.

Just worried about the uneven tire wear now cuz I have a pretty new set of tein ss on and barely had my rims/tires for 6months

If you just recently lowered your car you need an alignment. Your toe could be out causing the uneven tire wear. If the wear is on the inside of the tire then you are toed out too much and will cause this problem, think of dragging the tire along the ground well rotating. Get that done then see if everything goes back to normal.
