Tires have less than one season use, They were VERY good in the snow. Need to buy a new set for the new car, sadly these won't fit anything I own now. If you don't know about the green diamond tires, they have silicon carbide granules embeded throughout tread, it's like bringing your own sand everywhere. Only on really bad ice did the tires give up any grip. They plowed through the last NE winter with no issue, and that was a pretty bad winter. Tread is about 85% left, tons of life left.

$250 for the set of 4, local pick up or I can meet you somewhere as long as it's not to far off - I'm in Leominster Ma

Nice big pic of the tread. The worn tire above it is not one of the greendiamond tires, friends old tires. All 4 of the green diamonds are in the same condition as the one in the pic.

The "flavor crystals" are visable in the pic, but since it's dirty it all just looks like dust and dirt. You can see it in the daylight, little glass like crystals all over the tread. Helps get traction on ice.

I had ordered them through the greendiamondtire website. But seems like that have decreased their radius on where they will ship, the east coast doesn't seem to have any options now. They also had 3 diffrent types of tire, now only 1 (though I don't recall if the "icelander" was sold last year". The ultra trac was the high end tire last year. There is a "locate dealer" link on their page, maybe you can find someone local to you.

Friend of mine is eyeing these to ice race this winter. They should just fall under the snow tire class and not with studded, giving him an advantage.
