Tyre warmers

My dad wants to but me something for xmas up to the value of £150. I was thinking of a set of tyre warmers.

My question is, are the Motrax ones any good or should i be looking at the Diamond Security ones on Ebay? Or are there any other i should be considering? Its important to me that i dont waste his money!!

Rockhopper. theres a bit of tyre war going on at the moment between motrax & Diamond Security. DS use to be £250. Motrax started out at £150.00ish. DS have just dropped theres to £130.00 because Motrax have dropped theres to £135.00. DS want to shift stock.

So are DS better then? I've just got the image of Motrax being a bit kind of MFI/Wilko type stuff..

I wouldn't like to say Rock. DS where or are know to be the best budget warmer, I think it's the name. Motrax, they have got there name on loads of crap stuff, but also supply good quality stuff too. I would have to see both warmer up close to decide. Which has the thicker insulation ( big advantage) which had the stronger looking material and construction. I know that Motrax ones have done away with the pull cords. They come laterally curved?

Rock, If I was to choose I think it would be DS. I don't like the look of black & yellow warmers. Not sure what colour DS come in?
