Safety and Research
Green Diamond Tires meet all US Department of Transportation safety standards.
According to a study by the Swedish Road and Traffic Institution, Green
Diamond tires:
- cause 14 times less road wear than conventional studded
tires;
- are half as noisy as studded tires and no noisier than regular tires;
- offer substantially more skid resistance than regular tires, particularly
on wet ice.

Who Uses Remolded Tires?
- American industry and government.
- Virtually all airplane tires (more than 90%) including commercial and military jets are recycled and remolded--just
like Green Diamond Tires.
- Stock car drivers use retreads for racing.
- Five million
Europeans use remolded tires for everyday driving.
- Trucks in the United
States recycle tires eight times before discarding them.
- School bus companies.
- Heavy equipment operators and farmers.
What Causes Most Blowouts?
Statistics prove improper tire use, not retread failure, bear the responsibility
in most cases. Read more about this topic in
