Qstar,
It is a longstanding problem with B744, it is the wheels, and seems to be a harmonic being set up.

Carefully set up bearings, correctly inflated wheels and tires withing balance tolerances, all are important, but even with everything "just right", it still happens at high rolling speeds, although I have had it once at only about 255T tow.

Boeing has never found an answer.
