Will swapping winter and summer tires onto the same set of wheels cause any damage?
Dedicated wheels to go with my summer tires are in my long-term plan, but other things are taking priority of my money right now.
Could swapping tires twice a year on the same wheels for the next year or two cause any sort of damage to the wheels or tires? Aside from cosmetic? What should I look out for at tire shops? Thanks.

It's fine for 1 or 2 seasons, but much longer than that and the cost of mounting/balancing is more
than a set of steel wheels or even cheap aluminum wheels. Might be able to find some cheap OEM wheels for winter on your local Craigs List.
