Not sure if this has been discussed here, I've been searching for some time tonight and not coming up with an answer...

I have a 2014 Limited with the stock 22" wheels, it has a set of Hankook Ventus tires with almost new tread. From looking at the tire and looking online it appears these are not good tires for the winter but I am happy with them for summer driving.

I would like to buy a set of winter tires to fit these rims and swap just the tires back and forth fall/spring. I've thought about buying a second set of rims and tires and just changing the rims each season (which is still on the table) but I really like the way my truck looks with the factory wheels. I've also been looking for a set of factory 22s but they seem to fetch around $2k for a set if you can find them.

So I'm wondering would it be hard on the rubber to pull them off, let them sit 6 months then re-mount each season? Or are today's tires perfectly capable of handling that stress?

 

My dad's been doing it for a few years now. Keeps his tires up off the ground on a rack in our storage shed. Has a set of GoodYear Duratracs that are 3+ years old, just runs them from October to March. Then some firestone's for the summer. No signs of dry rot.

 

I ended up buying a second set of rims/tires for the winter, should be here this week...
