i have brand new tyres (avon zt5) on all corners. now that i can drive the car i have noticed a rotational squeak, like tyre rub but it's not the cause.

sounds like it's coming from the drivers side.

i've spun and forced a pull/push on everything but cannot replicate or find any noise when not driving.

any ideas

Had the same squeak, passenger side, turned out to be a seized ball joint.
Actually torn the ball joint out of the A-arm, just after getting off the freeway doing 70+
MPH. Just very lucky!

Try light pressure on brake pedal and see if squeak changes.
Also move steering wheel side to side and see if that changes.

Also check to see if backing plate got tweeked when tires installed.

Yep. It happens

it was the pad retaining plate rubbing against the outer edge of the disc, a little bit of filing and noise is gone
