What causes severe road noise with my 2003 Mustang GT? Is it tires, wheel bearings, or something else.

Unfortuneately without more information It's hard to determine for sure.
Usually wheel bearing noise will change pitch and sound when cornering, tires will not.
What speeds do you notice it at exactly? what kind of noise?
I've seen tires that have not been rotated in a while cause road noise as they scallop from hitting in the same place time and time again... Usually tire will get worse as you speed up and won't go away when the car is put in neutral....
HAven't had any issues with wheel bearings on those vehicles.. had a few with a rear end noise but most were either custom exhaust hitting the car or tire related.

Could be both who knows. If it's a real loud noise like a squeel then it's the wheel bearing. Have a tire shop take a look at it for you.

Usually it is the tread pattern of the tires that makes noise. Plus the tight suspension will amplify it a little bit. Put some Flowmasters on it to muffle the noise :)

i don't know what dealer you bought it from but tell him to stick to selling cars and leave the rest of it to ppl that knows what they are talking about, if you have the owners manual it will tell you to use reg. unleaded 87 octane your car will actually not run as well on higher octane . the brain box is set for the lower octane and you will burn up your o2 censers faster with higher octane

I thought mine was bearings, but didn't help, must be the tires

When I bought a new pair for my Mach 1 it helped.
