What is a tire warmer?
A tire warmer is an electric heating blanket designed to get your tires to mid race temperatures (when you have the most grip and confidence) before your race begins.

Why do I need tire warmers?
No one should underestimate the dangers of cold tire crashes, the costs of tires, or the lack of grip on the first cold lap. Tire warmers aid in all three of these. They provide the extra needed heat needed to grip on the first few laps while your tires get up to temp. They provide extra rider confidence as well as helping avoid costly and dangerous crashes. Tire warmers also help save money on testing time, and reduce tire tearing.

How hot do Suzuka tire warmers get?
Suzuka tire warmers reach around 170 degrees, an average of top tire manufacturers recommended temperatures. (Now available in Dual Temp Model with tempertures of 135 and 170 degrees)

How do Suzuka tire warmers work?
Standard plugs fit any outlet and one set of two draws about 1000 watts. Evenly spaced wires drive heat into the tire and rim which is spread and retained by a high quality insulation.

What if the Suzuka tire warmers malfunction or break?
Suzuka tire warmers are built with top quality materials and to high standards, but should something go wrong, there is a U.S. repair shop which can take care of any repair or warranty.

- No cold tire crashes
many riders have been caught out by not having a tire fully up to temperature. This can ruin your race before it starts.

- No cold cutting or cold tearing of tires
Pushing the tire hard before it is heated all the way through can create this shredded effect on the tire. The tire will not perform well in this condition and causes a tire to be replaced earlier than would be needed with use of Tire Warmers.

- Reduce heat cycles
Cooling Tires off after each track session hardens them which reduces grip. This is easily measured on a Durometer and using warmers between sessions helps reduce the number of times the tire is heated and cooled.

- Hot tire pressure
Getting the surface of a tire hot is one thing, but getting the tire hot deep in the carcass is what gets tire pressures up to 35-37 lbs, and this takes several laps. Using Suzuka Brand Tire Warmers gets the entire carcass hot and gets the Hot Pressure before the race begins.

- Go fast right away
The start of any race is important, especially as riders sort themselves out and settle into a position. You can not wait on the opening laps to get going and get to the front.
