• but I prefer to finish at the valve so I can push the valve in as I seat the last bit of the tyre bead.

    Ditto.

    prevent pinching the inner tube when it get tougher to push the tyres in, especially when using the levers.

  • If you do it the other way around it's less tough, the valve is already seated properly and levers should only ever come out to get the tyre off not on so there is not pinching.
