If I was going to do that I'd ideally need a set of wheels to go with the tires, which is going to be upwards of $6k+. I've heard this about swapping just the tires...
"Having tires mounted and demounted semi-annually is quite a strain on the tire itself," said David Weatherhead, automotive professor at Centennial College in Toronto. "Especially with lower-profile tires, it stresses the rubber around the bead of the tire and can lead to damaging the rubber, which in turn can lead to tire degradation and, therefore, leaks."
