Usually not. Apart from Helium being a very light gas its is also a very small molecule, it is harder to contain than other gasses made up from bigger molecules.(helium is routinely used when checking for leaks in hermetically sealed systems. Partly due to traces of Helium being easy to detect, partly because if helium can't get out, then nothing else will.)
A Helium filled tire would lose pressure much faster than a tire filled with ordinary air.
On top of that Helium is a bit expensive, and has to be bought in bottles. Not much point in using something that is more expensive and does a poorer job than something that's free only to save a few grams of weight.
