He's going to tell you how good he is because he does Ferrari, Lamborghini, Mercedes, Bently while he's bending them.
Turn the wheel and it will look like the lip is bent. It's really obvious at low speed rotation. They tend to use the pry bar really abruptly to try and hurry and it bends if you have a tire that's stiff enough to give resistance. Try to get the tires installed on a hot day and let them sit in the direct sun for an hour or so first so they are more flexible. The highest performance tires will be the most challenging to install without bending because they are stiffest.
