This is why only in dire situations do I let anyone mount tires on my car.
However, I had a shop in Atlanta do them. The owner told me that there were NO air outlets in the tire mounting area. He removed them AFTER paying a good amount of money having all four rotors on an owner's Jaguar replaced, because the bolts were torqued so hard that the rotors were warped. Also, the torque setting were noted and signed by the mechanic on my bill.
Chrome lugs ($$$) do not like air tools at all.
