I agree.
I haven't heard of wheel bearings causing this type of problem, but have heard of tires doing it. I'd do the check recommended above and if it doesn't appear there is a large problem, get your tires balanced. Balancing a tire is relatively inexpensive and would rule out the easy thing before you start spending big money on new wheel bearings (they come as a unit and the rears are something like $400+ dollars each.
The rear wheel bearing is the piece to the right in this pic:
