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!

Eric

I don't really doubt that these are more durable than my mylar/bubble version, but since the topic has come up, the cordura fabric isn't likely to be an issue. The weak point is probably the stitching. I'm basically handing you an opening, Eric (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Where the pieces mate (front panel to tread cover to rear gusset) they are triple stitched in these locations. Plus there is some re-enforcing covering in this area as well. The stitching won't be an issue. I really wish I could send each and everyone of you a sample because once you got them in your hands you'll be sold (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) LOL!

Possum, they do not blow away in a breezy day. However if you define a breezy day as 50 mph winds, then all bets are off. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Marka, I sure hope Harbor freight doesn't pick up this product. Although if they do and they work just as well as their jacks or power steering pump pulley pullers then I won't have anything to worry about. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/cool2.gif)
