Did you ever find a solution to the problem? My 07 is250 has the same issue with the humming.

Which one? There are several questions and topics in this discussion.

My BFG G-Force Comp 2 A/S are great tires for speed, traction, and wear but they come with 2 complaints.
1) very noisy, and double that as tread wears towards replacement.
2) when parked hot and driven on a cool day (next day) they take a set and vibrate for about 3 highway miles and it goes away. Again, age related. New it wasn't a issue.

I'm moving on to something else...

Yes, it turned out to be tire noise. The tires on my IS250 were worn on the inside causing a noise that sounded like it was coming from the differential. I put new tires on and the noise was gone.

If your tires are wearing on the inside and not even across the tread you need to check out this thread.
