Not really, but a decent tyre place should be able to take the effected side off the rim, rub it down with some wet and dry, then re-bead it without needing a re-balance. Should only cost avbout £10 but worth getting it done.

Out of interest what brand of tyre was this? I seem to have a jinx when it comes to sealing BFG ATs onto LR rims.
