Gouged Inside of Bead - Mounting Issues?

[NY94J30]

In removing my snow tires, the shop apparently gouged the inner part of the bead - given where the damage is, will this present any problem going forward?

Certainly will prevent a good seal even if no damage was done to structure of the tire bead.

Take it back and have them buy you a new tire.

Wish I could - the tires were dismounted 2 winters ago. I guess I will give it a go and see if they hold air.

Just to close the loop, I haven't had any issues with the seal over the past couple weeks of checking pressures.
