In 1995 New Industries Ltd developed a highly sophisticated technique for mixing hard silicon carbide granules into the material compound of a tire tread.
The high standards of performance of Green Diamond Tires are based on the thousands of small sharp-edged granules making firm contact with the icy road surfaces, giving them superior traction without the hammering and damaging effect of studded tires. 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. For more information see..

Comments: Not a terrible expensive tire for what it does. Perhaps better suited for the real cold snowy and icy climates.
