There should never be a rumbling, groaning or grinding sound coming from the wheels of your car, nor any vibration through the steering wheel (unless, of course, you're driving over corrugated roads).
Wheel bearing issues usually come about due to poorly sealed bearings or lack of lubrication. Worn bearings are very dangerous as they can collapse and cause the wheel to detach from the car. They can also cause uneven wear on the tyres, loud noises and vibrations in the car.
The wheels on your vehicle need to operate in a smooth manner, regardless of surface and speed. When there is damage to the wheel bearings, the drive is no longer smooth as friction can build up. This friction can then break down the wheel bearings and cause wear and tear on the axle.
