I live in NH and have run snow tires for years on many different cars. Getting a snow tire that'll do 100+ mph for under $80 that will give you any decent traction doesn't exist. You can get pilot alpins or other speed-rated tires, but they're wide and will tend to snowplow in slushy snow, and are DEFINITELY more than $80 each. The best tires for your application are Nokian - either the Hakkapellitta line for best traction or the Nokian WR for 4-season traction. All are rated T or H so that'd be about the best you could get there, but the price will be in the $100 range per tire. It'll get you there - they're made in Finland.
I'll reserve my judgement about doing 100+ around here in the winter, though. Route 2, I91, I93 aren't places I'd push that speed this time of year, let alone in the summertime........
