The Blizzaks always performed better, in my experience, and my WS90s have lasted just fine. I’m not sure how they’d be considered bad on dry roads, can’t say I’ve had any issues.
Owner reviews for tires
I had WS80s for a few years with no issues.
Blizzak tires are golden lasted 7 years.
Personally I prefer Continental a little more for the pricing to performance advantage they offer (admittedly subjective). You do still pay a little for the name but it's not as painful of an upcharge as Michelin and their comparable lines in my size are over $50/tire cheaper. Recently I even lucked out and they're preferable to my prior Defenders.
I’ve got blizzaks on both vehicles. Only ran generic winter tires before that and the improvement was crazy.
Paid a pretty penny for my WS90s, going on sixth winter still good shape
Have had great experience with the Blizzak WS-90s
Just be warned I bought new and we don’t drive it wild or anything but both rear tires (non staggered 21”) were at 3mm tread after 10k miles and I had to replace them. Was shocking.
I’m also experiencing the same poor tread life with the Weatherpeaks at 16,000 miles. I’m actually slipping on turns now and plan on using the warranty for a replacement. I don’t feel good about these tires.
Oh mate you have chosen a shit tyre, I had the BT23 and they were straight plastic in super cold weather :/ (took ages to get em to even get warm)
I had multiple spin ups/slides over white markings and straight up dodgy pavement in London, made me lose a lot of confidence in the wet
