Still could be the bearings; out of round or scalloped tire(s)

Not a Porsche but years ago my Honda CRX developed a womwom. At highway speeds it sounded like I had a Sopwith Camel chasing me. The rear hub assemblies with the bearings were integral to the trailing arms so they got changed out and goodbye noise. Out of round tires can do something similar. Any sign of scalloping? (Tread blocks individually worn unevenly,)
