Yes choppy tires can cause humming or a noise similar to mud tires... You can check your tire tread depth to see if you have choppy tires just look at the tread like you would look at the horizon. You can also run your hand across the tread and feel the choppiness. Choppiness can be caused by lack of an alignment or in worse cases... bearings, ball joints, shocks, struts, tie rods basically your suspension component's. I suggest to take it to your local auto shop and have them do an inspection on your vehicle its inexpensive and well worth it. Otherwise, its pointless to buy tires because you will be wasting money.

Why do your tires make a humming noise and cause vibration?
The humming noise is dependant on the road surface/ tire tread and tire wear. If the tires are scalloped or feathered they will hum. Vibration may be a problem in your suspension or the balancing of one or more of your tires. You can run your hand over the tread (front to back and back to front) if it is wavy or the tread feels jagged/ sharper in 1 direction, you need suspension work and/or an alignment.

Could be many things but a front wheel bearing/hub assembly going bad comes to mind. Scalloped worn tires can give you a humming noise also.

Bad wheel bearing.
What would cause a 1998 Ford Taurus to sound like a helicopter while driving and then have the sound go away at roughly 65 MPH?
The sound you are hearing could be coming from bad Tires. As the Tires Feather because of misalignment or suspension issues, they develop an uneven wear pattern. If the noise gets louder as your speed increases, this could be your problem. Get to a Tire Dealer and have your Tires and Suspension Checked. :-) Another noise that sounds like a tire noise is a wheel bearing going bad. IF you take you hand and feeling the tread around the tire, you can tell if there is a smooth feel or a wavy feel or choppy feel etc. Anything other than a smooth feel could cause a roar. IF your struts are original, they may be causing a choppy wear.
Why would a 2003 Dodge Neon with 59000 miles and 4000 miles on the tires make a humming or vibrating noise on the front driver side but there is no shimmy in the steering wheel?
Check the tires for cupping. If you have had an alignment problem the tires could be cupping and will make quite a lot of noise. It could also be a wheel bearing.
