dude that stinks. Good to hear you walked away.
The Yaris can do some screwy things in the wet and snow. I spun mine a couple months ago going maybe 30 mph at the end of an off ramp, where the road met the ramp there was a nice little bump, and that is all it took to set the rear wheels free. I didn't actually hit anything, just had a few massive pendulum turns staring at a bunch of trees before it did a 360 and stopped.
Sorry, but snow tires are a gigantic waste of money unless you drive in snow constantly. Otherwise they don't last very long, are expensive, and require you to pay to have them mounted every year, or to have an extra set of rims lying around for them.
My car is horrid in the snow, and I am not some super duper driver, but for the 6 times a year I see snow, I can't possibly think buying snow tires is better than slowing down and taking my time.
