With permission from Trackbird, I am starting this thread to get feedback from you guys on a set of Tire Blankets that I've been developing.

I have completed my final prototype of the large size so I am just about to get ready to kick off production. But before I do so I want to know if people would actually be interested in buying them. The price for the production blankets will be $159.00 for a set of 4. More information, like sizes, insulation test results and pictures can be found in the survey on my website. Please take the time to review this information and then complete the short survey (Note, I am not savvy enough to actually make an online survey, so if you could email me your results at the address at the bottom of the survey I'd really appreciate it).

You can also post any and all questions in this thread because I am sure lots of people will have similar questions.


Thank you all for your help!

Yes, I guess I really didn't emphasis the stow-ability and durability in the description, I should update that. Thanks Possum, I guess I just took that for granted.

The material that the tire blankets are made of is very similar to high end back pack and duffel bag material, which as you know is pretty durable and abrasion resistant. It also has a water resistant coating. As far as stowability. When you are done using the blankets they can be folded up and stuffed into a large duffel bag. That's how I have been transporting them around. Heck you can even wad them up into a ball and not damage the materials or it's insulation properties.

So far the people I've shown them to (Chicago and Milwaukee region members) are pretty impressed with the thickness and weight of the product. I guess the pictures do not really do them justice. Possum, do you have any ideas on how I should highlight both the durability and stow-ability?
