Market Survey - Tire Blankets - F-Body Road Racing and Autocross Forums

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!

Very durable, easy to move around, and wad up and throw into the back of a car when done. When you consider the amount of work put in to design, cut and sew a set, I think $160/set is a pretty decent price. If you autocross with slicks, and run with ambient temps less than about 85 deg, tire blankets will help, IMHO. In fact, running just about anything but V710s, blankets definitely help.
