    Probably easier to change tyres, as you'll probably have to centre the brake calipers and reindex the mech when you change wheels.

    As per CD's reply, unless you have the same wheels, you can run into issues with swapping. Not to say it wont work, its just not guaranteed you wont be messing about alot.

    ^^ they're right.

    I have 2 sets and it's a faff realigning brakes every time. I also got out of sync with chain wear by using one more than the other, so now I have to change chains too, which is even more tiresome!
