Squeaky Wheel

So I hopped in the truck today, 2004 F350 Crew Cab, and was driving down the road and heard a squeaking noise consistent with the wheel spinning. I slowed down to a stop and of course the squeaking slowed down also. Been doing normal highway driving lately so not sure how said squeak may have been caused. Any clues? Don't got the tools to pick the truck up and pull the wheels off, so any pointers in the right direction of a possible problem would be helpful.

and no way in heck is it the bearings or ball joints because I just had those replaced about 7k miles back. Maybe tires?

UPDATE

So I read somewhere on the many of these forums that the issue could possibly be the hub/hub bearings. So, I kept the truck in 2H and locked the hubs. The squeaking stopped in seconds and ran normal. I went highway speeds and came back down to 5 MPH. I then stopped and unlocked the hubs. Drove highway speeds again and back down to 5 MPH and the squeaking started. I thinking the hubs or maybe the needle caliper need replaced or greased.

Any help on this would be appreciated.
