Well maybe, but the actual "investment" is really only in a spare set of wheels (if you do it that way) and time/effort (maybe cost) in swapping them twice a year.
Used "tatty" wheels suitable for winter use are fairly cheap anyway. Tyres wear out as you drive, so the net cost of rubber is the same overall. In fact it "can" be cheaper as the wrong tyres for the ambient temperature (either way) tend to scrub and wear out quicker.
