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!

I now have pricing for the small Tire Blankets: $149.00 for a set of four.

The survey results are looking very favorable at the present time. I still am looking for a few more responses to determine "how many" I should order for my first run.

Some probably won't care about this question, but for those of us who are anal about clean autocross cars:
What is the method of cleaning care for these things ? (ie: soap and water by hand, machine wash, etc.)
........might also be a good point for your durability description.

This is a great question. I wouldn't recommend putting them into a washing machine because of their size alone. Second, the tire blanket is water resistant, but not water proof so if you fully submerge the blankets in water they could become water logged and take forever to dry out. I recommend washing them with a small amount of mild detergent, luke warm water and a sponge. Then use a second sponge and clean water to rinse the soap off the fabric. Then let it air dry till completely dry. do not put it away damp because all sorts of microbs and fungus can grow in the water which would make the covers smell "ripe."
