Many people who drive their f-body year-round have a second set of winter rims for this reason, and also so their nice rims don't get messed up from whatever may happen along the way.

Also like you said, weight added to the back of the car will probably be the best thing you can do.
this. a set of 16" beaters and 235/55/16 snows all around. just 2 makes for poor balance, FWD or RWD, dry and wet.

I never liked blizzaks as I thought they wore poorly but they may have improved on that in the past few years. they do work well with good tread.
