That is correct. Also some (if not all) tire companies will refuse to put winter tires on just two wheels of a front wheel drive/all wheel drive vehicle. Les Schwab out here (Wa) has a big sign to that effect that you can't miss right above the order desk.

Sure, but it depends on the person doing it. Some guys are careful but a lot are not. Another advantage is the mounted tire will maintain the tire shape. You are suppose to store unmounted tires upright, but how many people do that. The take off tires should be put into plastic garbage bags for storage.
