IMO a beater is preferable to driving a camaro in the snow. Simply due to road salt, if no other reason.

Where are you getting 2, no less the highly suggested 4, new snow tires for $100? Try $500+.
If another DD is not an option, then get 4 beater wheels, 16s if you can, and do 4 mounted snows. Much easier than mount/dismount/balance twice a year, and cheaper if you use them a few years. Little G is on the money, go 4 and go narrower. Maybe 235/55/16 or something, I'd have to look. Why 4? Balance. With rear snows only it'll push like a bitch in the wet and oversteer in the dry. It will be even worse if the tires are also skinnier in the rear.
All season tires are poor compromises that do everything OK but nothing well.
