That's why it is a good practice to always mount your tire with its lable placed at the valve stem. You can easily reference the tear on the tube to the area of the tire. Also wire beaded tires are a heck of a lot harder to pull off and remount. Go with folders if you can.... Depending on my tire/rim combo, most of my tires are removed without the use of tire irons, simply with my macho fingers in most cases.

George!
