Back when I used to mount my tires sometimes they would arrive banded.
As soon as I got the tires I would unwrap them and cut any straps and let the tires sit fow a few days. If it was summer and if the tires had any kinks I would let them sit in the sun a couple times.
This was bias ply tires. I don't know if beads are stiffer in modern radials and if those kinks would come out after the tire relaxes in the heat.
