Can a unit bearing be defective, and still tight?

I put it up on jack stands and spun it pretty good. I was not able to replicate the noise.
The LF tire appears to be very slightly out of round. The tires are Definity Dakota M/T 235/75/15 (Pep Boys private label, allegedly manufactured by Cooper).
The RF did not turn, and had a slight jerking motion. I assume this is normal for an open differential. The LR didn't spin.
I'm going to pull the front driveshaft and see if that quiets my gremlin.

Upon further investigation, I have found that I have a bad tire. I installed the spare on the LF, and the noise went away. Sometimes the simple solution is right in front of us. That was my Homer Simpson moment.
