I fitted winter tyres to my car 2 years ago, took them off in the spring, fitted them again last year and again removed in the spring, will probably leave them on this spring and fit brand new ones next year. I use the tyre machine at work so it does not cost me anything, but it would add up if I was paying "slick fit" to fit and remove them. I have fitted Vredestein Quatrac "All Weather" tyres to my mates Passat and he says they give the best of both worlds.
If you worried about falling off your bike, you'd never get on.
