Cannot see how it's cheaper. My tire swap cost me $75 (for extra rims). Tires are a wear item and need to be replaced routinely regardless of how many sets I own. Having two sets just means I can go twice as long before buying new tires, but I have to buy twice as many, so zero sum. Ring and pinion gears usually last the life of the vehicle.
My tire swap plan does not work for those that wish to go off-roading though, it's only good for towing, drag racing, or SUV autocross, if there is such a thing...
