Are all of the tires new? What type/tread of tires?

For trouble free auto 4wd operation, all tires must match. Mismatching tires will cause a differential in rotational speed from tire to tire, causing all kinds of whacky things to happen.
edit, since this is a "truck problem" and might not be entirely tire related, I am moving this thread to the stock 1995-2001 explorers sub forum. IMO it will always be best for you to start there for best answers. Edit #2 Your other thread and this one may be related. If the ABS sensors report a differential in speed while braking, the faster spinning one will brake harder |

Did you replace the rotor? If so, see this thread.

Hello the tread is more of an off road chunky tread more than a smooth road tyre tread thanks

Well my tires are rather meaty, and people have said it sounds like an airplane when i drive past them. The noise you are hearing very well could just be the hum of the tires. Does it change pitch according to speed?

Agreed- the style of tread may be all you're hearing. They will also change pitch and noise as they wear...
