The tires will hold for a number of swaps, but I would recommend doing this too many times on a single tire.
My car now has 20K with 18" M-Sport rims all seasons, it has been garaged on both winters, but I miss the car too much on winters, and since it is a RWD it would be LOTS of fun on winters as well.

I expect to run another 10K this year on the original tires before December arrives, I believe that by end of the year those original tires will be almost gone, so I would imagine I have to swap the original the tires only once if that even happens, and soon it is GONE for good I will keep the winter tires on those rims for good and buy myself a nice set 19" for the summer.

BTW, I'm planing to keep the car for another 5 years at least.
