Ran a 90's S14 240SX with the limited slip and Blizzaks. Was awesome in the snow.
I had Blizzak WS90s on my RWD BMW for all five years I owned it. My wife has an AWD SUV with all weather tires. She drove the BMW once in the snow and was shocked to find she felt safer in it than her SUV. The only real advantage AWD gives you in the snow is traction to get moving. Once you’re moving, which wheels are propelling you is much less important. What becomes important then is your ability to stop and maneuver. And that is dictated by your tires.
The Blizzaks are excellent on a heavier SUV (my old shitbox Wrangler) and served me very well last winter going between the mainland and Cape Breton
Blizzak hands down. I get 3 winters out of a set no problem.
Bought a set of Blizzak WS90s two years ago and they have tons of tread left after two seasons. Wear obviously depends on how you drive, but mine have held up great for regular commuting and trips to the valley. Very good at handling deep snow, never got stuck.
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.
I had WS80s for a few years with no issues.

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
