04 xlt 4x4 with the (4auto) 4L flex, 92k miles

Hello thanx in advance for the help. I have the Michelin tires, the same as factory. A few hundred miles ago, the truck has begun to develope road noise. It's starting to sound like my F150 (which has 33" mnstr mudders they're loud tires explorer not quite as loud but similar sound)

This road noise is new, the current tires have been on the truck for 50k miles & never sounded like this. 2 of the tires are nearing need for replacement there's a bit left till wear bars, but getting close.

Any suggestions Please help.
thanx Jeff

by the way, I have played with the speed, acceleration, just coasting & braking not much affects it.
The noise mainly occurs above 35mph.
Thanx again
Jeff

Check your wheel bearings especially the rear ones, they are notorious for failing prematurely.

Check the front wheel bearings, not uncommon.
There have been a few write ups on this too.
