Tyre Warmers- again sorry
Has anyone used these before, they are very competitively priced and the website certainly makes some big claims about supplying races teams, look genuine to me. £150 sounds very good

Re: Tyre Warmers- again sorry
diamond security warmers are superb. I have 2 sets.The only ones i would recommend over them are HWW or chicken hawk and at over £250 they are not in the same league to compare to.

Re: Tyre Warmers- again sorry
Just been surfing and seen these on the busters website. No idea what they are like tho...
Electrically heated Tyre Warmers. Details Whether you’re a racer or a track day addict or, tyre warmers are an essential piece of wquipment. Both race and road tyres need a certain amount of heat before they can give their best performance. Without tyre warmers, valuable track time is lost whilst building up heat into cold rubber. Track day sessions average 6 laps, it takes 3 laps to warm up cold tyres. That’s 50% of track time lost warming the tyres. Tyre wear is increased when tyres are cold. One size fits most models. Was: £149.99 Price: £99.99 |

Re: Tyre Warmers- again sorry
A 3kW gennie would be better, but if you've got the warmers on you won't be making a cup of tea cos you'll be about to go out on track
Do a session, come in and put the warmers on but don't plug them in, make tea, then plug the warmers up just as they call the session before your next one. 20 minutes of heat if they've been wrapped up since the last session should be ok |

Make a flask in the AM before you start if you need tea and are struggling for power, or put it on when you are out on the bike (warmers unplugged). If you are doing trackdays, cheap warmers will prolly be ok, at the end of the day you can take a few laps to get full heat in, you don’t get that luxury at a race, so you need good warmers. |
