PLEASE CONSULT YOUR TIRE MANUFACTURER’S
REPRESENTATIVE FOR TEMPERATURE RECOMMENDATIONS
For rain conditions
we always run the tires on a Warm setting on any brand of tire, and do not
leave them on for more than 15 minutes. Some manufacturers do not even recommend using warmers at
all on rain tires - consult your tire dealer for instructions.
IMPORTANT NOTES
It is important to note that even the best tire warmers typically cannot achieve optimal
temperatures in abnormally cold conditions (below 50 deg F). Wrapping the tires in flame retardant
blankets has proven to improve this condition by as much as 20 degrees.
A common problem at the racetrack is having too many people draw power from the same circuit,
making warmers less effective due to the lack of electrical power. Watch for these problems at the track.
These warmers draw about 1000 Watts of power if you are sizing a generator. When in doubt – more
power is always better.
For multiple races in one day, putting your tires back on the warmers on the Warm setting will
reduce the effects of heat cycling the tire. Heat cycles (and tread wear) are the primary causes of loss of
traction as a tire gets older. By not allowing the tire to cool completely after use, the tire will have more
grip for a longer period of time.
