Is it normal for the rims to get scratched during tire replacement?

It is normal for the rims to get scratched during tire replacement. Below is relevant information about tire replacement: Conditions requiring tire replacement: Tread wear indicator bars. These indicators are rarely visible on very new or minimally worn tires, but as wear progresses, they become exposed within the tread grooves. Tread wear indicator bars are flat rubber strips embedded vertically in the tread grooves. During tire inspection, you may occasionally spot one or two indicators, indicating significant reduction in tread depth. If nearly all the indicators are clearly visible, it means the tires need to be replaced as soon as possible. Consequences of not replacing tires promptly: A significant portion of traffic accidents are caused by poor tire quality or improper tire usage. Poor tire condition can lead to delayed braking, skidding, sudden loss of tire pressure, or insufficient tire strength, potentially resulting in traffic accidents. A tire blowout at high speed can cause sudden loss of vehicle balance or control, leading to accidents.
