I bet, all tires are different. When tires tend to wear down, it'll hum more. Some, louder than others. Especially sport tires!

Sango - I recently came across this thread. I am hearing a similar sound that is described here and I DO have the AWD f sport. Right at 35-50 mph I hear a rhythmic humming noise. goes away at higher speeds.

What noise does the transfer case create? Could this be the noise I am hearing?

For Toyota Lexus when ABS and CEL gone wrong the traction comes with it, ABS light indicator means one of your ABS sensor is malfunction. Who told you to replace the wheel hub ?

if your car stored code YOU SHOULD CHECK WITH SCAN TOOL not assuming, go to a shop that has an ABS scan tool tell them to scan which sensor is shot, in the mean time take out your wheel and check all the ABS wire see if anything loose check the ABS Module too if something came loose.

usually crappy mechanic broke ABS wire while replacing strut, i've had this nightmare before because that mother F ker liar mech lied to me, he broke the sensor and used super glue to stick it back lol
