Advice | Winter Tires or All Weathers

Hello all! I just recently bought a 2017 BRZ and this is my first post of this forum. I wanted to get some advice on winter tires for the car from people with experience driving these in the winter. I have read a few threads including the master winter tire list, which was helpful at finding options.

I'm in a weird situation where the BRZ is likely to see only one proper Canadian winter before I am moving to the west coast where it will mostly see rain and slightly above freezing temps. I'm willing to spend the money to get the proper shoes, I just want to make sure I'm spending it wisely. Would it make sense to still get the winters or would all-weathers suffice for the season? I have summer tires for it as well, but I'm debating on going to a single tire because they are difficult for me to store. The Nokians and Firestone seem to behave like a performance winter (probably not the same feel though).

Winter Tire Options
1. Continental WinterContact SI Plus (Canadian Tire Exclusive)
2. General Altimax Arctic 12
3. Nexen Winguard Sport 2

All-Weather Tires
1. Nokian WR-G4
2. Nordman Solstice (Kal Tire Exclusive by the looks)
3. Firestone Weathergrip
