Yes you are right I am selling them for Dean
I got a set from him last year & just helping him out

I brought a set of these the other day.

They are pretty good value for money.
Digital readout is great, It will tell you the current temprature that they are at, and what you have set it to, also lets you set the tollerance of the thermostat (+/- XX degrees).
Elasticated sides, and a zig-zag pattern of the element wires which allows even heating of the tire, and they come with a bag to store them in.
Had looked at another brand of tire warmers last weekend, and they did not have as many features as these and were a similar price.

Will be trying them out properly in 2 weeks time at the vic club winter series.

Be careful about what you say about design of tyrewarmers.

Many aspects of tyrewarmer design come down to personal preference, but there are aspects that do provide better or worse performance.
Digital control is useful if you know what temperatures are appropriate, if not, then it can just be a problem and a confusion that may detract from learning how to ride. Digital control is clearly important if you are changing tyre compounds and maybe brands. If not, then it is not required. Ask yourself if you know what temperatures you need.

The optimal element arrangement is still debated in the market, but vitually all of the manufacturers outside of Asia (where these come from) use a circumferential element arrangement so as to avoid hot spots at the tight curves and cool spots where there are large gaps and element breakage at the tight curves.

Elasticated sides are also personal preference, but when it is difficult or fiddly to roll up a heater after taking it off the tyre, riders and crew can get annoyed. Draw strings are also not perfect, but they allow the heater to be formed to any particular wheel/tyre.

Insulation is also a very important design aspect of a tyrewarmer. If a 500W heater has no insulation, during our winter and on a windy day the warmer could be heating 100% of the time and still only reach temperature near the thermister, and not heat the entire carcass of the tyre/wheel. If you need to use a generator then the odds are that true heat soak will never be achieved and only the outer surface of the tyre will be warmed. This heat will disappear as soon as the warmer is removed on any but the warmest days.

What happens when someone spins the wheel and smashes the digi-box on the front guard or something (not likely I know, but what if?).

And don't forget after sales service and warranties.

This is not a bag-a-brand rant, but rather just to say, it is better to make statements about things with which one is familiar. Other heaters on the market have complimentary features that might make a performance difference when weighed up all together. Competition in the marketplace is the name of the game, as 5 years ago tyrewarmers were hens-teeth in NZ and you would have had no choice at all! The choice of course, is yours.

Enjoy ;-)

Steve,thanks for your comments,but,if its not "bag a brand rant,why say anything at all!!

Thanks SteveyB...its good to read a general post on what to look out for. Obviously there are benefits for certain designs, and disadvantages for certain designs - I thought it was well written, and particularly useful if one is going to spend $575 on warmer. Its worth considering what is most important to each individual rider.

If anyone wants a pair of Pro Tyre warmers cheap give me a PM the back one has only been used twice and the front for half a year so its really well shaped to the tyre now. These are the most expensive ones Tyrewarmers.co.nz sell read my review on here.
