The one extra step I take, is after seating the tire/tube, I'll inflate to say 20PSI, and work around the entire rim of the tire on both sides, pinching it in slightly at each point, to make sure the tube is actually properly seated. Every so often I'll find out that it didn't seat right, and I have to push the tube fully under the tire. If I forget that step, I'll get a pinch flat every so often.
