Default Damage from remounting a tire?

i couldnt find anything in the search, and dont remember having seen anything about it in the past, so..

i`m aware that a stiff sidewall tire (as any competition tire would likely be) can be difficult to mount on a rim. should i be worried about damage, or safety/performance degradation if i have such tires mounted on rim set A and later have them unmounted and then mounted on rim set B some weeks later?

i am looking to buy some azenis for autox, but i need to run them on one car for a little while before i run them on another one with a diffferent bolt pattern... and i am a cheap bastard..

Provided the tire shop guy knows what he's doing, no.

I've done this several times with several tires.

Yes, the main thing is do you trust your 'tire guys'. Personally, I'm begining to get upset with the local Discount Tire employee's. Running over a jack and reving the truck gets my blood boiling.... I might be switching back to NTB for tire needs soon.
