Same here with a few differences, I would make Michelins number 2 vice Perellis. And the Blizzak would be number 3 due to the special compound wearing out after 50% tread wear. One perspective I was made aware of is, If I get the Nokian HKPT R2s and for some reason need a replacement, I might have to wait days or even weeks because there are no retailer for Nokians in GTA.

I was all on board for the Blizzak WS 80s until I found out about their special compound wearing out after 50%. The X Ice I-3 are very comparable to the Blizzaks but the blizzaks wear out much faster than the i3s.

If I can source an Ontario Nokian retailer, I will go with the HKPT R2s otherwise I will probably get the X Ice I-3s.
