Me too, since '85. Right now I've got a pair of $39.95 Futuras from Pep
Boys and some 92 rated Master Craft snow tires on back. Not that I'd recommend
them, but no problems and they're at least eight years old.

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.
