The Blizzak's as well as the Dunlops I had, have a special rubber compound for the first 40% or so of the tread block that enhances ice and snow traction. This is a softer compound which does indeed wear quicker when you drive on dry pavement. But this is the price you pay for being a tank in the snow. You will have more grip in the snow than you know what to do with. I could literally make panic stops in the snow with those Dunlops, drive down unplowed dirt roads, etc. You can't do that with any other non-Blizzak like tire, unless its studded. Your not looking for aggressive tread on snow tires, save that for the summertime, just those big squishy square tread blocks.
