Hi all,

I want to make the most off my tracktime so I'm looking to buy some tyrewarmers.
Due to economical crisis they have to be cheap :rotfl

Any trackaddict on the Forum who is familiar with eather Biketek, diamond or race-tech, or maybe some other brand ?

If you check back to the 'what do we all do' thread, I'm sure somebody on here has his own business making them. Sure he'll be in touch.

Thanks for the answers.

Any one has some experience with Bike-tek warmers, they're almost half the price of the diamond ones?
I heard they are the same as the Motogp tyrewarmers but with another logo.

I make Tyre Warmers!!

i have a small bespoke company specialising in tyre warmers for any motorbike.

Used to do work for a larger manufacturer but they sold out and didn't like the way the new place did their business.
(they started making very low quality warmers, and charging the same price)

So i thought i could do better and started up on my own.
And business has been great over the last couple of years,.

Recent customer was a Yamaha BSB team... :doug

Oh and i also run a small graphics company as well...

I was already watching these at Ebay, but couldn't find any reviews, price is very interresting though.
Maybe E-man can give some info on these, might also be usefull for other forummembers.

I've got Diamond Tech and are generally very pleased with them.

Like most things you get what you pay for and I've always believed in running the best tyres you can afford. Only stands to reason that you should get the best tyre warmers you can afford too!

In practice you may find that your tyres will cool whilst your waiting to go out on track but what they will do is stop them cooling down between sessions and therefore putting them through less heat cycles.

Also far less likely to cold tear.
