I'd go around the tire and make sure it's not over-seated too far in on the other side. Try to make sure it's evenly seated all the way around.
I usually do that at around 5 to 10 PSI with the rim mounted on the bike, so I can give it a good spin and observe for uneven seating on the rim, at low PSI to start with so I can work the bead in evenly by hand, then once evenly mounted, pump the tire up to full pressure.
If that doesn't do the trick, the tire just might be stretched or damaged, or perhaps the wrong size.
