Yoshi (My Yaris) is stuck :(

So I just got home from my parents restaurant in Aberdeen, MD and we have a pretty bad snow storm going on (weve got about 4-5 inches accumulation when we where driving and hours more to go!) the power is flickering and everything...

so after having driven my Yaris all over MD in the worst snow storm in Maryland record without really any problem (February of last year) I was feeling a lil cocky when leaving thinking "oh this is no problem!" .... well it was a problem because I forgot to factor in the 10,000 miles that i have put on my tires in the past year (and the fact that they are completely bald) ... unfortunately i didn't get much further than about 10' before Yoshi wouldn't budge and we had to leave a man behind!

I know for a fact that the Yaris could've made it home because on the way home in my Moms big 4x4 truck (that wasn't doing all so well) we passed another Bayou Blue pizza delivery Yaris just a trucking around!

Im just sharing and figured that someone would find it helpful to know that tire tread really makes a difference when driving in the winter! lol

Speaking of which whats a good set of all year tires that wont break the bank or my mileage? I did a search on here but all I can find is racing tires
