Using a Honda Accord, I bought a set of wheels and changed the drive wheels when I needed snow tires. I kept them in the trunk from Nov through April. Even with the scissor jack, I could change both front tire in about 15 minutes. Today, I'd use some sort of electric driven jack and an electric impact wrench.

On the 993, I'd want snows all around. With a front wheel drive, just 2 was fine.
Hmm. Must be the model of tire. Ours ride very well on the truck.
