Before you dive any deeper, you should know that manufacturers devise their own rating treadwear, and it isn't an universal standard. Comparing treadwear between manufacturers has very insufficient meaning.
Michelin X-Ice Xi2, Bridgestone Blizzak WS60, and Nokian Hakkepeliitta R are some of the best winter tires available. The X-Ice2 is more of an ice tire as opposed to the Blizzak and Hakke, which are more of a snow tire. Supposedly, the X-Ice2's tread pattern is not as aggressive as the Blizzak and Hakke for snow, while the Blizzak and Hakke special snow-oriented compounds wear faster. I was driving my RWD on X-Ice2 through last year's winter storms, and I had absolutely zero problem as long as the car had enough ground clearance. Another family vehicle was running on the Blizzaks, and that car had zero issues with last year's storm.
The Yokohama Ice Guard IG20 is supposed to be an excellent snow tire as well, but I don't know too many people using this one.
