Actually, the DWS is quite competent in winter, just not on a BRZ. It is entirely feasible to run the DWS as an all weather tire all year. Nokia WR also but they are more oriented to winter capability then summer. Again, I would not put them on a BRZ.
The BRZ is comically incompetent in winter, although I will give it full marks for controllable slides with stability and traction control off. You are not likely to hit any guard rails assuming you know how to hang the tail out in the dry. With full winter tires on of course or you'll get nowhere.

And yet again here you go with the bad advice.
There is not an all season tire made that will compete with a proper winter tire. or will work well at any temperature below zero. Sure they are indeed better than they used to be but they are still way below dedicated winter tires (especially with ice).
The FRS is a tank in the snow or ice with
proper winter tires. I put 1,000 kilometers a week on my FRS through the worst winter can throw at me and have not had a single incident. Not one. Traction control will save your ass in slippery conditions. Knowing how to hang the tail out in the dry will not help if you are sliding in the ice or snow no matter what you think your skills are.
People PLEASE do not listen to this joker! He will get you killed.
