I like em. I have them on all three cars.
Green Diamond "Icelanders" the all weather traction tire.
They are not wimpy squishy tires - they are a good handling tire.
They do not wear out like some "snow" tires.
They handle as well as any of the rest of em.
They aren't noisy.
They perform as advertised.
The tread pattern appears to be identical to Continental branded snow tires.
We got them because we were looking for an all season type tire that could give our rear wheel drive Volvos an advantage in snow/ice. We didn't want to have extra set of wheels hanging around because we're running out of storage space as it is.
I found out about these tires on the "web" and subsequently purchased one set, then another set from "Greendiamonddirect.com" in Wisconsin, internet sales through Mike Bednorski. Greendiamonddirect became a Brickboard sponsor for awhile. We waited two months for a set for the 960, but it was worth it. Tragically and suddenly Mike Bednorski passed away a couple of months back.
Price/value/performance from now on all of my tires will be Green Diamonds. here in Chicago some years you don't need snow tires, other years you need them for months on end. These are really good tires. From what I understand Nokian Tire this year has a licensing agreement with Greendiamond and they use the same embedded carbide granule technology for some of their tires, but they only sell those particular Nokians in Europe. The tires on my cars were made in Sweden.
If you are interested visit "greendiamonddirect.com" or "greendiamondna.com" and you can call Jeff Barlow or Tom Murray at 1-800-428-8696, 607-733-7156 or 607-481-1194. I got my last set from them. They are in New York state. My last transaction was completed by Jeff & Tom.
