Default Squeaky tire???

Last weekend I put my car up on a jack and changed my front brake pads. Now I'm noticing a squeaking sound coming from the passenger front tire. It only happens when I go over bumps small and large but not necessarily 100% of the time. I doubt its related to the new brake pads, but maybe suspension or ride height? Any suggestions?

Thanks

When my right front started squeaking ,it was a flat runflat-and you really can't tell by looking,they don't look flat at all,but they do squeak on the rim.
The previous owner of my Vette got rid of the TPM's,so the DIC didn't let me know...

If that was the case how could I figure out if it is flat? The gauge inside the car says that it is fine....

Hi There:
When you changed the front pads did you use the black lub on the shims?When you spun the rotors by hand before changing the pads did they spin true? Did they wobble a lot?
