Very very much so if that figure is celsius. My source of information is personal experience and direct access to engineers at Ohlins racing AB Sweden. People that are at the absolute sharp end of MotoGP and WSBK where Ohlins have just about a complete monopoly at present.
Peter Goddard sums it up perfectly...............''Tyres are like cakes, overcook them and you will ruin them''. Tyre warmers should have accurate and highly responsive digital temperature readouts on them and should be regulated to as close as possible to 75 degrees celsius and certainly not exceeding 80 degrees celsius.
PM SteveYB, he knows a thing or two about tyre warmers. Better to spend a little more now and a little less on tyres over the long haul.

All different brands of tyres, are designed to operate at different temps.

The BEST Quality tyre warmers for sale in New Zealand, are sold by Darbi, and Ozzy on here is selling them at the momnet, failing that, contact Mishy on here.

The other NZ ones that a lot of people have, regualy fail:shit:
