While I was a city boy, I drove on all season tires all the time. Now that I've moved out to the boonies, I'm looking to get some winter tires.

So I was just wondering, how many times, or how often, can you remove a set of tires from your rims, and then later put them back on such as with summer/winter tires as the seasons change? I know it would be a better idea to just get a second set of rims, but I just don't want to spend the extra cash. Is it a bad idea to mount and remount tires on this kind of schedule? Will it damage them?
