| The use of warmers on race days can be disputed due to the delays in holding areas. Often the delays on trackdays are less because you can ride out onto the circuit at any time in the session.
Warmers help preserve tyre life due to reduced heat-cooling cycles but, with non-race tyres this is not so important.
Tyre warmers do help you with confidence and by ensuring your tyres have heat in them but, I really don't think it's a big deal with trackdays as you also have to warm more than just tyres anyway. It's not a race so there is no need to go balls out to start with. A few moderately gentle laps sighting should be enough to start getting heat into the tyres before picking up pace.
I raced used Diamond warmers for two years - they are great vfm. Not the most robust or hottest but, then you should look after kit anyway - mine are still like new. On cold days the use of skins is required to help them retain heat. |
