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
The origin of "love" as the score zero in tennis is debated, but two main theories prevail. One suggests it's derived from the French word "l'oeuf" (egg) which resembles the shape of the number zero. The other proposes it's related to the Dutch word "lof" meaning "honour" as players might be playing for honour when scoreless.
