both back tires have a wave on the inside of the tire and the tires are making the car vibrate. seems the wheel bearings are the problem. with only 75000 miles on it and 200.00 each want to make sure thats the problem

I am assuming that you are referring to the tread of the tire. If the tires are wearing on the inside of the tires and the wear is on an angle I would suspect that the rear shocks/struts are bad. As a worn shock/strut goes down the road it will allow the tire to consatantly bounce up and down. When it does this it scrapes the inside of the tire across the road causing the wear. If wheel bearings cause tire wear you should be able to feel looseness in the wheel bearing when it is jacked up.
and that would make the tire have waves on the inside of the tire? the outside is fine.
You are talking about the tread area correct?
correct the inside of both tires
I would install new struts an have a wheel alignment done. As I said before the only way a wheel bearing will cause tire wear is if it is loose.
