What is included with the purchase?
For the cost of the tire warmers, you receive, 4 tire blankets, two digital controllers (each controller powers two tires), 8 side covers (use 4 if warming on the car and 8 to use if warming off the car), and a carry tote for storage of the warmers
How much power is required to run the tire warmers?
A set of 4 tire blankets can be powered by a 2000w generator
What temperature should the tire warmers be set at?
You should consult with your tire manufacture. Most would recommend a temperature of 175. Our experience with different manufactures of tires, 175 degrees works very well.
How hot will the tire warmers get my tires?
The controllers will set up to 210 degrees F, but depending on the size of your tire, you will only see between 170 and 185 degrees maximum. The larger the tire size, the more area there is to keep warm. The controllers were designed around being able to use a 2000W generator, so the power demand can limit the temperature. But, since 175 is the typically advised temperature to set the tires at, you will still be at optimum temperatures.
What is the heat up time?
As little as 45 minutes will get the tires to temperature, but we recommend an hour. And, we recommend heating the tires on the car. By heating the tires on the car, you will also heat the wheel, the hub, and the rotor. This allows these other components to help hold more heat to your tires.
Are the warmers waterproof?
No, Demon Speed tire warmers should not be used in the rain or in a wet area. The controllers are not made for wet environments.
With my racing, I go to grid and sometimes sit in grid for 10 minutes or more, do I still have an advantage over not using a tire warmer?
We have done studies with cockpit tire pressure monitors to measure the effect of the heated or non-heated tire. What we see is that the heated tire, even when held in the false grid for 10 minutes only lose about 1.5 PSI of pressure showing that the tires are still close to temperature and much closer to pressure than tires that were not heated.
Why buy Demon Speed tire warmers?
