i've heard great things about these tires but i havent bought them because i feel i wont be able to snow drift that easy compaired to all season tires that i've used in the past. also i'm affraid they'll wear out really fast from alot of snow drifting?

You can snow drift just fine.  It's actually much better because your traction is more consistent (and a little better) -- so if you find yourself in an oh-shit moment you can gas it and steer instead of praying.
On ice..... its all fun.

Nokian Hakkapeliitta's are the only tires you can't drift in ;)

You Can Drift Nokians!!  You just have to go alot faster.  Snow tires are a must for the winter IMO they work better on cold dry and wet pavement then any all season.  Sure you have to take it easy on them compared to summer tires on the dry but it is no problem to get 4-6 winters on a set.  All seasons are a waste of money as they are very much a compromise not good in the cold and snow and not good in the dry summer.

Hakkas are the best IMO but I still really like the Blizzaks.

Last time I bought snows I got the Graspics for $52/tire.  Sound like you got a great deal on blizzaks.
