Regarding the cost argument, I look at it like this:
Two sets of tires will wear at roughly half the rate as one set, so over time, aren't you going to be spending the same amount on tires anyway?
I opted to get some cheap steel wheels so I don't have to remount my tires each season. I'm 16 bolts and 30 minutes away from a complete tire change. Those cost $200 in total - there's probably even cheaper out there. For a one-time purchase for the entire life of my car, this is quite reasonable.
As for storage - they occupy about 4 square feet of my garage floor and I hardly notice them. I can understand the predicament for people in apartments, however.
