Which Tyre Warmers?

[tim]

Might try to get a set before track day this sat as I'll need them for Xmas track day anyways....

Which ones???? Advice? Cheers.

For the few track days you're doing mate, I'd probably stick with the solar ones. Your road tyres will be warm enough in a lap and you don't really have the worry of heat cycles that you do with slicks/race tyres.

Hmmm some people still use them for street tryes right? I mean the plan is to have a trackie one day, so I'll need them then anyways.

When I borrowed Robs last track day I loved going out and having confidence straight away. I felt like I got more out of the day instead of sacrificing a lap or 2 each session.

How much do tyres cool down in the few mins from taking them off to hitting turn 2?

[Blurr]

They cool down a fair bit. I usually dont get my knee down till turn 7 or 8 on the first lap even with warmers (I have gone straight out and dropped a knee on turn 2 before but I wouldnt recommend it for a constant practice).

Pete's new ones are fine for a trackday junky such as yourself

...and a whole three month warranty. Experience and and empty wallet says Tyre Warmers aint Tyre warmers. You get what you pay for. I think everyone probably buys one cheap set and then learns their lesson.

1 year warranty mate, did you read the description

But yeh you are right I did go for the cheaper ones, budget constraints ...no point having million dollar tyre warmers with no tyres to warm
