Yaris horrible in snow.

[yaris2010RS]

funny i think the yaris is one of the best front wheel drive cars i have even been in for winter weather. i find even in a slide its easy to recover vs other cars i have driven. mind u, at the same time this is only the second car i have driven with stability control and i love it. the trac and stability control is amazing and much more advanced and much more advanced then the system installed on the kia soul. that is a bad car in winter.

i did drive the first part of winter with OEM all seasons but since i do a lot of night driving and i do alot of km per year i decided to get winter tires and to be honest i have never felt so safe. before my yaris, if there was too much snow out i wouldnt go out but now i love it.

like today for example, spent the evenning out in the country driving around in the fresh snow

I have the traction and stability control as well, running 195/60/15 winter tires, and I have had no issues whatsoever. I drive about 70km a day for work, and never had a problem with the snow.

And we've had a crap load of snow this year to boot! One of the worst winters around here probably in at least 4 years.

I'm using the "Wanli Winter Challenger" tires. From what I've read, they've gotten mixed reviews, but personally, I've had no problems with them.
