Had 3 used tires put on after they were slashed, 2 rear 1 front, not long after

What is your question?

Started hearing loud noise from rear, growling/humming/?? Sound and vibration that stays constant but will level off once cruising at a set speed, and get louder if and when accelerateing. How can I determine if its hubs/bearing issue or bad tire issue, as I've read that both of these issues can sound similar. Can the average Joe do this at home, or does this need to be done in shop setting with a certified mechanic.
