HELP!? HORRIBLE drive home during first REAL Snow in Michigan - Toyota Yaris Forums

Are there any low cost yet good snow tires? I cannot afford to outfit my car with something $300-400 in the horrible money sucking month of December.

My first drive was horrible too, first snow in my 09 and at one point I went through a slow motion slide towards a railing on a turn... I heard a crunching noise (idk, maybe the snow, or the car?) and the brake pedal felt like it wasn't going down.. is that normal..?

Thankfully, it was so slow and the car stopped right before the railing.. I get paniced thinking about driving to work now, before I couldnt care less about the car I drove during other winters.
