We have a 2004 Impala and there is a loud humming noise coming from the back tires. We have put on new tires and the noise is still there. Has anyone had this issue with their impala?

If tires are new, and the rim isn't bent, I'd say check the wheel bearing. If it gets louder the faster you go, and sounds sort of like a jet engine whining, then it's a wheel bearing/hub.
