Default tires slipping on rims

Hi,

I'm running Schwalbe, Fast Fred Light, Qualifier, 26x2.0'' on mavic xc 517 ceramic rims and unless I really keep the tire pressure up I easily end up tearing the valves from the tubes as I brake.
The obvious solution is of course to quit braking, but that method does have its drawbacks, so what about tire glue on one side?(So I can still get to te tube in case of flats)

Has anybody tried it, did it work, what glue to use, did it make the rim hopeless to use with other tires afterwards?
