It'd be nice to know the exact use case, but generally higher tire pressures are all that's needed. This only happens on my MTB at trail pressures, which are generally 22-25 lbs (which is below mfr minimum inflation of 35 lbs) Unmount the tires, and wipe the bead seat area down with a degreaser and then a solvent to eliminate any migrating oils/lubes.
