So I got a flat and had Walmart replace the two front tires on my van. The tires in the back are bigger then what is made for this vehicle. Can this cause my van to make a humming noise when going down the highway?

Good evening.

Was the humming noise present before the tire change? If it was not, it is the tires.

If it was, the hub bearings may be the issue.
