I would think it's probably the tire rubbing on something.

There's not much to make a "rubber" noise unless you're mistaking it for something else that may sound simliar-ish. Other possible issues that squeak or clunk are springs, strut mounts, and antiroll bar bushings. You can look at the CV boots to see if they're torn, but generally, the only thing you hear from them is a clicking when the joints are worn (usually from lack of lubrication caused by a failed boot). Basically, you just have to look around. It may be nothing other than annoying, but it never hurts to jack the car up and check the front end out every now and then.
