Blizzak’s are very common and the general consensus is that they’re great.
An alternative you may wanna look into are the Nokian Hakkapeliitta R3’s. They’re a little less common, but rated very highly and perform amazingly for the price (which is very affordable)

Used Nokian Hakkapeliitta 9's or 8's. Used Hakkapeliitta R3's if you're living somewhere where studded tires are illegal. Cost will be around $150-350 USD depending on your tire size, and performance will be equally as good as a newer low-end tire or even a mid-range tire if you get one that's only a year old.
We put Nokian Hakkaapelitta R5’s on our 2023 Cooper SE (electric). It’s going to be fun to see the difference once the snow flies.
Usually run the hakkapeliitta 9 studded when I used to drive a lot between New England states. Best tires I’ve had for winter. They will feel a bit marshmallowish until it gets really cold 32F and under. Getting closer to 0F they firm up a bit and drivability was amazing. Assuming roughly same for a similar tire
I had these tires but studded on my RWD Cadillac CTS Coupe in Saskatchewan and absolutely flew through the snow and ice for a few years. They’re awesome.
Not a WRX owner (came across my feed) but I've owned two sets of these R3's, a set of 7's for mom, and a set of C3's for the work van. Don't worry about winter traction ever again.
Nokians are the best.
Have R3's on my Golf and love them. I know, wrong forum, but we all use winter tires. Going on soon for the second season.
I'm a Michelin fan myself, but I've heard good things about Nokian. Judging by the tread pattern alone, that's a very agressive tire that'll likely work incredibly well on the WRX.
I've been super disappointed with these tires as well, even with proper rotation and good alignment. Less than 40,000km and they are toast.
