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 weighted a Large Tire Blanket tonight and it weights 3.0 lbs. I also checked to see what size box it would fit into to get a sense of volume. I was easily able to fit into a 13x9x11 inch box.

I have now closed the Tire Blanket Survey. Thank you to everyone who responded, the results were very favorable so production is scheduled to start on Monday, 11/3/08. The first set should be ready for shipment on December 1st, 2008.

I do want to make you all aware that we have made revisions to the current design. In the name of increased durability we have changed the exterior material to one that is even more durable that the current material and we have revised the seam construction and protection. These improvements do affect the price somewhat but I think the increase in durability is worth it. After all our goal is to provide the highest quality product and the most reasonable price that you will be able to use for years.

Thanks again to everyone for their input.
