Stock stellies

Ok so i had to get winter tires after i got a hole in my all seasons, so i just put them on my stock steelies. anyways winter is about to end, and i'm going to need to get some new rubber, now my question is, is it ok to just use the same rim, and keep switching tires every winter and spring, or should i get diffrent steelies for my summers and for my winters.

EternalVTEC is an unknown quantity at this point
its ok for the wheels but not the tires, and to just throw out the tires after one season(if there is still a good amount of tread left)is a waste

Just go buy a second set of rims. I guess you could buy another set of steelies, but if you're going to spend the money, you might as well buy alloys. You can probably snag a set of OEM wheels for $300-$500 with some tires off this board or one of the others, or just get a set of rims. Its not good for the tire to keep pulling them on and off, it stretches the bead out.
