Still not Sure if Tire Blankets are for You? - F-Body Road Racing and Autocross Forums

Well to date I've sold over 28 sets of Tire Blankets in both large and small sizes. The blankets have been purchased by people all over the US and even Canada, but I've only sold 1 set to a fellow FRRAX member/ESP competitor/friend. Well, what are the rest of you waiting for? (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/whip.gif) Maybe you'd like to hear what a few satisfied customers have had to say about them:

I got to use my MLS blankets (my wife calls them tire cozies) for the first time at the Houston Tour and they worked better than expected. When we first pulled into our grid spot after a run the tires would be around 120 degrees and after 10-15 minutes of waiting with the blankets on, they would still be 110 degrees. I won my class and the blankets helped (and no, I'm not sponsored by MLS). - Mark Sawatsky 4/6/09, SCCAfourms.com

I don't normally give away speed secrets, but I'm damn impressed with the MLS blankets I bought from Eric, and he deserves credit for a great product. Believe it or not, but I had warm rear tires between runs on Sunday and HOT fronts! There's no way my old foil over bubble wrap blankets would have done that. Plus, they didn't blow away and I could stuff all four in the Z06 without worryng about damaging them. - Steve Wynveen 4/21/09, ChicagoAutox Yahoo Group

The weather on the day Steve was referring to was 40°F and windy!

I was very impressed with the blankets. I was most worried that they would blow off of the car but they stayed put, even with a decent breeze. - Eric Tucker 4/21/09, ChicagoAutox Yahoo Group

You can order you set of tire blankets directly thru my website: www.MLSMotorRacing.com

Thanks in advance,

I'm asking because of a local novice with a Miata-based "Locost" Seven who spent yesterday rolling his car back and forth a foot or so to keep the tires from frying. Our weather just snapped form 50's and low 60's to sunny mid 80's overnight. Have you tested the blankets on an open-wheel car in wind? This post has been edited by sgarnett: Apr 27 2009, 12:27 PM
