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!

How effective is the rear gusset/flap in fairly high winds? How stiff is the flap? Is there any provision for weighting them at the bottom, like a pocket or slot for some heavy chain? For that matter, what do they weigh?

The two reasons I quit using my homemade blankets were that stowing them was a pain (not really built for folding, which you've addressed) and wind. I had to prop tool bags against them on the downwind side of the car. You've addressed that too, but is it enough?

Can you quantify the wind testing any? 20mph with the car parked across the wind? 25? More?
