If I was to worry about anything its to find a tire shop that has a leverless tire changer such as the Hunter Auto34. http://www.hunter.com/tirechanger/auto34/index.cfm. This helps to insure your rims don't get chewed up when changing tires.
I'm planning on using my 18" summer performance tires for a year and then swapping to new wheels and non run flats, probably Hankook Ventas V12's with a patch kit.

Swapping out the new tires & wheels and trying to sell them on Ebay seems like a PITA which is why I wouldn't do it immediately. What are others doing??
