I'd dismount and clean the chrome off the bead anywhere it's lifting at all. Buicks in the early 2000s had issues with this, but on aluminum wheels, I'd take up to 2-3 times as long to put on a set of tires with bad chrome peeling because of the bead cleaning / loose chrome tearing off. aside from a bent wheel, I think 99% of bead leaks could have been prevented by the tech doing a better job cleaning the bead when the tires were originally installed
