I generally use a Profile when I want to do something of this nature.
So, for your case, you might have something like...
<properties>
<skipTests>true</skipTests>
</properties>
<profiles>
<profile>
<id>run-tests</id>
<properties>
<skipTests>false</skipTests>
</properties>
</profile>
</profiles>
Then by simply calling Maven with the profile activated, you can run the
tests...
mvn -Prun-tests clean install
