My recomendation:

Get the tire off the rim.

Get out the wire brush and really scrape it get all the rubber from the bead off, and anything that is flaking must come off. Don't be afraid to paint the bead area after you have sanded it, just use good primer and paint, or I think you will have the same problem again.

If the wheel rim is seriously corroded or rusted, use a file.

Be sure to coat the bead with the paste intended for seating tires. Soap isn't good, and some tire mounters don't even coat anything...but this is Eastern Europe.

Have you tire remounted and balanced.

I've fixed this problem many times--and this method always worked. I never did have to use the file though I faced some really pitted rims.
