I got the Blizzak WS70's and they are pretty damn good, really happy with the performance so far in some pretty grim winter conditions!
Today's tires aren't prone to permanent lat spotting like older tires. I park my STI on its summer tires over the winter and when they come up to temp in the summer the flat spots go away. Resting tires like that without a car's weight on them won't hurt them in the least.

Back OT: I have the Dunlop WinterSport M3 tires on my BRZ (I wanted the 3Ds but they aren't available in our size. The M3s have great sidewalls and match well with the BRZ. Highway driving is sure-footed and reliable with a surprising minimum of "grab" from slush. Highly recommended for moderate to heavy snow where studs aren't neccessary.
