    Tyre warmers?

    Tried searching for threads on this but didn't have any luck so hopefully I am not repeating a question.

    Wanting to know what sort of power a set of tyre warmers draw? I am looking to get myself a generator this season and would prefer to get one that can run 2 sets.

    The warmers I have don't have any information about their power rating on them and I have also looked on the manufacturers website without any luck.

    Thanks in advance for your help

    Different warmers draw different amounts, you'll notice the better the warmer the more they will INITIALLY draw, the warmer the warmer becomes the less they draw....ha. A good ball park amount is 800watts in generator speak, for a set. I actually measured mine and that was about bang on apon start up, 350 for the front and 450 for the rear. For 2 sets I would go for one that can continually handle 1800watts. 2000 would be a good buffer.

    Cool man cheers. I can get a 4 stroke 2500w generator for a good price so after what you have said that will do the job nicely.

    2500 should be perfect. One thing I would say is that.... it's nice if it is a quiet one. Yamaha and Honda make some nice 2000w units that are very quiet. Having said that.... I got a cheapo one and it is loud.... so ya know, I speak from experience. ..... but am being a bit of a hypocrite.
