		<description>Hello, all...

Thank you Jessica for your kind and insightful comments regarding our planet-friendly Green Diamond Tires (GDT).  

Just a minor point of clarification... the technology of turning a serviceable tire casing (passenger or light truck-class) into a GDT is called &#039;remolding&#039;.  It is in this process that a extensively QA&#039;d casing has all of the non-structural rubber material removed via high-speed, computer numerically controlled (CNC) rasps and new, non-vulcanized tread rubber and sidewall material applied and then cured (vulcanized) in presses with segmented molds.

The GDT is a bead-to-bead &#039;remold&#039; that is a hybrid between new tire manufacture and a highly advanced retread/recycle technology.  Our recycled content is in the 70%+ range (tire size dependent) and we have identified technology that will allow us to push the content envelope into the mid-to-high 80% range in the next generation of GDT.

Jessica, thank you again for the attention that you brought to our product.  We look forward to continuing service to our customers and planet in a responsible fashion with the most environmentally responsible tire that we know how to produce.

Kind regards,

Rich Gostenik
