The high standards of performance for Green Diamond Tires are based on the thousands of small sharp-edged granules making firm contact with icy road surfaces. 
In manufacturing a Green Diamond Tire, the granules are distributed evenly throughout the rubber. This infusion of the granules throughout the tire’s wear surface ensures that as the tire wears down and granules are worn away, new ones are uncovered. Green Diamond Tires are particularly suitable for use with vehicles equipped with anti-lock braking systems (ABS). They provide superior, scientifically-proven performance compared to any ordinary tire in the most difficult of slippery road conditions.
Green Diamond Tires must be 'run-in' by driving 1,500 to 2,000 miles on clear, dry roads. It is during this driving period that the granules will begin to emerge. To protect the equipment used during the manufacturing of Green Diamond tires, they come with a thin veneer of ordinary tread rubber molded over the granules which quickly wears off in normal use.
Green Diamond Tires are also environmentally responsible because they effectively recycle and reuse existing tire casings. Only premium quality casings are used and each donor casing is exhaustively examined using sophisticated test and inspection equipment.
