Look at the machine the tire store uses to change your tires. If you do not care about scratches and digs into the inside of your rims it isn't important, but especially for those with after market chrome rims investigate the machine being used to change your tires! There are basically two types out there; One grabs the inside of the rim and holds it in place with jaw like pressure. The other will run a spindle up through the center of the hub and clamp the rim in place with no fingers on the rim. That method prevents damage to the inside of the rim. Those machines will have an arm come down and break the bead as the tire turns with the spindle. The center spindle machines will not use a lever to get under the tire and spin the lever, vice the rim, to break the bead and thus no scratches from a lever running on your rim.

The tire changing machine that does little to no damage to the rim is called a "touchless" center post or leverless. Hunter calls their models "Walkaway".

If some one comes to your house or business to change a tire on the spot, I feel certain you will have some kind of rim damage via scratches, scrapes or gouges.

There is only one store near me that has the center post, touchless tire exchange tool. Many tire stores did not even know what I was asking about. ( I checked in three counties) The newer machines are expensive, but it is the only way I will have my tires changed on the SRT6 with chrome wheels.

So it is not just the tires, but who is installing them.
