    Yes to the beads, follow the bead manufacturer’s advice for the size of tire.

    When replacing tires, we have seen far more tires with beads clumped and CAUSING the imbalance than ones where the beads actually helped.

    You are FAR better off having the tire/wheel assembly correctly balanced and leaving the beads out of the tire. It takes extremely little tire assembly lube to cause the beads to clump.
