You gotta find out if that creaking is your tire. To do that install tire and wheel that creaks. Observe creaking. Then remove the tire and reinstall that wheel. Observe if creaking is gone.

If it is the tire, then deflate it, and try again. Is it creaking. No, inflate it see if it's creaking.

When you absolutely sure it's your tire that is creaking. You can decide. Can you live with the creaking or is it bothering you too much? Perhaps a solution could be to get another tire?


I personally doubt creaking could be associated with the tire. Creaking is more like something mechanical, something that involves metal parts that aren't lubbed. Such as bottom bracket, steering column, casette, hubs, seat post, seat rails and bracket, anything that is tight together.
