oh boy.... it's hard to drive in a 4-6ins of snow. i know, even a 4x4 will have a hard time in snow mix with rain...
any tips? specially if your yaris is already shifting sideways... (at 5-15mph!)

I did not need to put snow/winter tires on the last 3 cars I've owned (Corolla, Civic, Accord). All-seasons did the job for me, however for some strange reason with the Yaris snow tires are almost mandatory.

I don't quite know exactly why but it must have something to do with size/weight of this car.
