As George said, the issue was raised with Tredit at the fall rally. Their stance on beads or liquids was don't do it. Their concern was increased heat and friction wear.
About 100 years ago when I was young, some places balanced tires and wheels on the vehicle. This offered the additional benefit of also balancing out the axle and hub assembly, at least until you rotated your tires. I don't know if places still offer this type of balancing or not.
EDIT: I just checked Clydes Wheel and Frame shop in Pontiac, MI - an outfit I've dealt with since my dad started going there in the 50's, and they still offer the service. If they do, I'm sure other places do too.
