So far in this series i have not seen any reason why we would introduce warmers...its another cost we can do without...........
Has any1 had any cold tyre issue's so far.....??..i have not heard any1 complain about cold tyres and i for one and i know im not alone go pretty hard from the start.....
Where will it stop..soon after warmers it will be advised we should have wets..then it's genny !spare wheels !spare discs etc etc..................
The Diablos we are running are awesome..warm up quickly and give excellent grip...............
no issues from me..im happy to run no warmers ( even though i have a set) and stay with controlled diablo tyre for next year....

Dude, I don't think anyone was suggesting that we do! Fbracer just wanted to know our opinion on which set to buy (Something I can't help with, sorry!).
Having said that I second everything else you said. No need at all for them at the mo. I didn't see anyone warming their tyres up during the race at snet, and if the front-runners are doing those speeds on cold tyres then you can rest assured that grip really isn't an issue.
I'd go even further and say that warmers could cause problems as the tyres have a definite tendancy to go off after 15mins at full bore. Mine let go a couple of times at Cadwell, admittedly on a corner with a rough surface (chris curves), but it didn't happen in the first 5-6 laps. Tyres pressure were 34.5 on return to the pits which seems about right.
