I am looking at tyre warmers can you guys give me some advice please?

I am on a budget big time I'm not looking to get the holeshot or win just want to learn how good good tyres are. I love my 2cts and have gone through many sets.
But its time to see what race spec tyres are like
I cant justify spending the extra money on digital reading ones I think I will be happy with a green light red light ones But I sure as shit dont want to cook my new tyres with shitty tyre warmers!
I can do bout 350$ max am I kidding myself? I know I'm not going to get ChickenHawks or big name brands for that

Do tyrewamers.co.nz have a good reputation on here? anyone had trouble with them? Have they ever over heated anyones tyres?

Or the other option is Biketek tyre warmers? Does anyone have experience with these? any good????

I see those moto gp ones getting slagged off on the net quite a bit

What make do Darbis stock?


Thanks for any input

I've had two sets, different sizes from tyrewarmers.co.nz and they have worked without problem. I have heard some great stories about follow-up if there are problems as well. Whatever brand you get will benefit from being treated like the relatively sensitive piece of equipment that they are. Good luck.

If you're an Ebay buyer these are a good option.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Race-Tech-Tyre-Warmers-89-95-/160385339176?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item2557b60f28#ht_1542wt_905


I got a set of these and they're almost identical to the local ones, nice thick insulation and good quality. Just ask for an Aus/NZ plug.

Just a tad under $300NZ delivered at the moment.
