Corolla (2003, LE) - Road Noise

I have a 2003 Corolla LE with 60K miles.

Bought new BFG Touring T/A tires a while back, and now the car rides as
noisy as all get-out......sounds like a 4-wheel drive truck humming down the
road. Tires are physically in great shape....no damage.....just a
constant "hummmm" as I drive down the road. The tires are rated as
"quiet", and the OEM Firestones I had on the car before....I just don't
remember them making any noise.

Is it the car?? Are other Corolla's noisy too?? These tires don't have a
lot of miles on them (maybe 20K), and I don't want to replace them, just to
have the new ones make the same noise.

Any suggestions??

Thanks, Regards, John
