Agree with Kevin T. but will add that non marking tires are a softer compound than black tires (i. e. lower durometer rating) and will wear out a bit faster. This is why the static build up occurs. A static strap (flat braided wire) is preferred less chance of hanging up vs a chain and less noise.
Non marking tires are a widely used in all sorts of industry and have been around since Hector was a pup. The only complaint I ever heard about them is when the lift is not fitted with a static strap & the operator gets a good jolt, especially in the winter time.

Fact of the week
In Germany, the 9th of November is sometimes called Schicksalstag, the "Day of Fate" because it has been the day for several major historical events, including the horrors of Kristallnacht in 1938 and the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989.
