Ernie - exactly how much play is there in those wheel bearings? Put a clock on the wheel rim and measure it. If it's less than 1 - 1.5 mm (40 - 60 thou) at the rim, that's good enough, and would not indicate the need to mess with 'em.

I think your issue may be down to the tyres - after all, did you notice anything with the previous set?
