Question Help About Tires/Snow Tires DC area!!!!!!

Ok so my problem is I am using performance tires I guess. The brand is yokohama 245/45ZR18 100W for rear and for the front 225/45ZR18 91W
They are almost dead and I m feeling really uncomfortable driving on them and I even can see the segment part of the tire now so I have to change them a.s.a.p.
I DONT KNOW what tire I suppose to get and yes but I have no idea about tires.
What I know is I drive pretty fast (I guess) around 110-120 miles/h on highway. But also I m going to snowboarding which means I ll drive to mountains few times a year.
The other problem is I don`t want to spend that much money on them ( i m still paying my car 2003 G35 coupe )
so PLEASE HELP ME DECIDE WHAT TIRES I SHOULD GET OR WATCH ME DYING ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 110MILES AND HAVING A FLAT TIRE
Thanks in advance

first of all, slow down! Going 110mph is crazy. Check out the blizzacks, I heard they are great in the snow.

Yeah that s what I ll do I guess. I found out these snow performance tires in tirerack.com Has anyone tried them before?
"Continental ContiExtremeContact"
After seeing the inside of the tire I drive pretty slow actually around 50-60 mph.
