Funny that - I've been driving daily on passenger car tires since 1992, many
of them rated far below 98T, without any incidents whatsoever.

Currently running Continental ContiTouring CH95 on Dixie and just about to
bolt up my Continental ExtremeWinterContact snows.

You don't have to believe Chicken Little...
