Squeaking front tire

Hello everyone,

The bike I am riding is a Lexmoto Vixen 2016 reg, I've had the bike for the best part of two weeks and on my way home today the front tire started squeaking everytime the tire made a full spin, the noise gets quieter at some points and even went completely for about half a mile but sure enough it came back, it becomes louder the slower I am going , pushing the bike makes it sound the loudest. When pushing it slowly the front wheel meets some resistance which makes me think it's the front disc break which is causing the issue. Anyone have any tips for a solution?

Thanks in advance!

I don't think its your tyre that's squeaking. I also don't think this is a racing or track day related query.

Your brake is binding or your disc is warped. that's my guess.
