Blizzaks are great. Nokian Hakkapeliitta's are out of this effing world.
Not sure what you went with but the Nokian WR G4 are great tires. I've used 4 pairs of the WR type of tires over 15 years in Michigan, Oregon, Utah(In the Canyon), Washington and Colorado on a front wheel and AWD drive SUVs/cars. They work great and are snow tires.
Go for the Nokian Hakkapeliitta. Best tires by far! They're not cheap but definitely worth it. I have the studded ones on both of my vehicles and they're bullet proof
I got the Nokian wrg4 for my wife's 2001 Lexus rx300 and have been very impressed. Still less than 1000 miles on them though so can't speak for the longevity.
I have the Nokian WR-G4, which are in a class of tires called 'all-weather' tires. This class of tire is relatively new is much more winter biased than traditional all-season tires. It does very well with moderate amounts of snow and extremely cold temperatures, whereas most typical all-season tires are 'marginally sufficient' at best.
After driving in dedicated winters (blizzak and c-ice) for 10+ years my last two sets of tires have been Nordman WR and Nokias WR G4, both perform equally to the dedicated winters in my driving in Alberta winters with lots of mountain driving.
Had the WR G4 SUV on my Ford Edge, much better then the stock Michelin Latitude tires, especially in winter.
So far they're awesome. They feel kinda chunky in a good way, but smooth, and they are absolutely glued down on the steep icy driveway.
All 3 are good but get the Hakkas. They're very good at cornering on winding mountain roads, excellent control and they handle the spring warm/snow cycle well.
I just had a set of four of the same Nokian tires replaced after only 2 years and 10,000 miles. They're terrible tires.
