My Green Diamonds is the first set of real snow tires that I've ever owned. I used to do all-season tires since I assumed that they did the job during - well - all seasons. But not deep snow and ice. I'd spin and get stuck over and over, but not anymore!

My wife's front-wheel drive Toyota would spin and slide in the most shallow of snow, but my RWD brick with a full tank of gas and them Green Diamond tires didn't break a sweat! The wife-mobile is getting a set next fall.

In southwest Ohio, we got about a foot of snow; central Ohio got almost 20 inches...and spring is in just two weeks!
