That's a normal practice. I wish mine were loaded. Almost every large farm tractor has loaded tires, only in most cases a mixture of calcium chloride and water is used which is corrosive to the steel rims. Be glad you don't have that. The rear tires on my Massey weigh 1100 lbs a piece...that would be a LOT of wheel weights.
Also, the tires should only be filled about 75% of the way, with air added after that. Is it possible that the PO put too much liquid in them? Is there too much air pressure in the tires? The ride quality shouldn't be effected that much by the liquid so I'd also bet there's something else going on.
