Question Best tires for Canadian winter?

I have looked at many forum threads and consumer reports about winter tires and haven't found a clear answer as to what the best ones are. We live in Northern Ontario and need dedicated winter tires that will perform in deep snow as well as ice. We will be putting them on our 19" factory M-sport rims. I'm a bit concerned about how the factory rims will hold up but would like to avoid buying winter rims to save a bit of $$ and avoid transporting and storing them.

The Bridgestone Blizzaks, Michelin X-ice, and Continental Extreme Contact are all rated well and reasonably priced but I don't think they will fit? I have only been able to find Pirelli Sottozeros that will fit; but a big price jump from the others!

Any advice would be appreciated!
