Summer tires in winter?

Like: The value for the car was great - saved close to $90 from what the competitors offered!
Dislike: I rented a car in the middle of winter in Canada, and I was given a Dodge Challenger muscle car. I actually asked for a Toyota Yaris or similar. Look --great car, but it had summer slicks on, not even all-weather tires. Further, I was told by the agent when I got back that the treads were getting pretty low. Sure enough, I was caught in a snow storm, and I got stuck and I had to be towed out. So, poor choice of car. Even poorer choice that the car did not have winter tires.
