Donald,
There's your first mistake. If it ain't broke - don't fix it! :)

I'd start by marking the tire and wheel with something like chalk or paint.
The carefully examine the rim and tire. Could very easily be a peice of
rusted
metal that is stuck to the bead area of the tire, or a bad rust pit on the
rim. I'd apply some Silcion to the rim where you marked and carefully clean
the tire bead.
