    Been running hardclimbers on my CB olympus for a year and had no problems.

    have you done the quick release up tight enough?

    When you put new tyres on with big nobbly bits you will get a sort of buzzing noise when standing up and pedalling hard on tarmac.

    But a creaking noise wont be the tyre.. Like Andy said, check everything is tight.


    And does rubber even make a noise when it tears??
