    Skip the middleman and order some brand new straight from the factory. I got mine delivered to my door for less than half price of most tyre warmers.

    When you order they'll send you an email from a Chinese address. Make sure you can get the email. Otherwise, it's safe and painless.

    At the price I got them I didn't worry about the warranty. If they broke (been going 3 years so far) I'd just replace them and I'd still be under the price of others.

    Don't you mean $325.00 a set? They're listed at US$215.00 + US$25.00 postage.

    No. I use locals whenever I can because of warranties and service. Things like tyre warmers that I'm happy to buy without any thought of warranties or need of service I'll get off ebay or from a source like the factory. Especially if it's something I consider to be a disposable item like tyre warmers.

    Robert will tell you it's a global market (his political and economic views are somewhere to the right of Ghengis Khan) and to compete you have to have an advantage over the offshore sellers. For KSS that advantage is warranties and especially service.

    I've bought one set locally. I like the idea of a repair service if I screw up
