while driving it makes a roaring sound thought maybe it might be the tires on the road, when I slow down the noise slows down, should I be worried about driving it, other than that it drives good, I cant tell if its the engine or the tires on the road.

A noise that sounds like the buzzing of an airplane engine is commonly caused by a noisy wheel bearing. You can drive it like that as long as your ears will stand it. Eventually it will get real sloppy and become a handling and braking problem but that usually takes a long time to occur. I've only seen one person put up with it long enough for that to happen.
