On the vehicles I drive year-round, I have snow tires, and rotation is
just a matter of keeping track of what goes where the next time I swap.
If you live in the snow belt and drive year around, there's really no
reason not to have snow tires. It's a one-time cost for rims, and
summer/winter tires last twice as long, so the cost for tires is a wash.

The bus only gets driven in the summer, so I just rotate in the spring
as part of the normal prep work.
