I bought the "Bike it" ones, they're on the budget side but they saw me through the 2013 trackday season with no issues and I'll be using them again next year.

I heard Diamond warmers are the best but naturally cost more.

Like anything, you get get what you pays for, to a point. I went budget brand - Holyrod.
The Company has a great reputation for Customer service.
The warmers have not let me down in two years. They heat up quick and have been robust.
One thing I'd say is get a set with elasticated edges not the draw strings and toggles like I've got. The draw strings are a bit of a pain and the toggles keep getting caught on the calipers when you take them off.

An interesting test, originally about the useless danger of weaving to try to warm tires, but also testing a variety of ways that do warm tires. Check the chart at the end, which shows that a standard warm up lap will get your tires almost as warm as tire warmers, and also that sitting on the grid for even a short time loses that tire warmer heat very quickly.
I know, you can go faster with more confidence on your warm up lap with tire warmer warmed tires, but, warm up laps are not just for bringing tires up to temp, they are also for warming up your body and preparing your mind.

Has Any tried uber or heard of them they Any good

One must not forget that tyre warmers has more than 1 function, on a trackday you will be on track 5-8 times, if you use warmers correctly it will count as 1 heat cycle on your tyres, if not the tyres will get 5-8 heat cycles, and will become worse much faster. A tyre can be "used up" before the thread/rubber is at it's limit.

Here's some info from the head of Dunlop's U.S. race tire division, with a link on how Dunlop recommends you use tire warmers.
A tire get's "used up" for track use by losing rubber before it gets "used up" by heat cycling. Overheating tires on the track seems to ruin them faster...

What warmers do you lot use ?

I used Diamond warmers on a minitwin and they were fantastic. Excellent service as well, fixed a small hole in the rear warmer for £25 and had the thing back to me in 3 days! Cost about £100 off ebay and used them for 3 years. Highly recommended.

You have to remember that our UK climate may be a little different to yours mate!!

I first used my warmers on a day when the temperature barely reached 7 deg C or about 44F in your language. I was damn well glad of my warmers then I can tell you!!

But yeah I'm sure there's equal ways to argue for and against using them generally.
