No.
A tick can bite through tights if its proboscis passes between the threads of the fabric. However, it will not do so.
The fact is that ixodid ticks do not have vision and, while moving on the host's body, choose a place to bite mainly through touch.
They do not perceive an area covered by fabric as suitable for feeding and look for exposed areas of skin. Nevertheless, a tick can get under the tights if there is a run or hole in them.
