I'm looking at tire warmers for the track and for auto-x (yes auto-x!)....If I bite the bullet and buy them, would I actually gain more tire wear out of my slicks than before? I don't ever wear out the tires, they just get hard after a while (numerous heat cycles) and then we go with new stickies.

If I come in from a 20 minute session and then put on the warmers until the next session, would I effectively block the heat cycle from occuring? Or would I cook the tire and have wear and / or failure by inducing heat?

For auto-x, I thought I would have just lift the car in between groups and keep the tires warm...you know...to justify the expense of buying them... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)

Here are the warmers I'm looking at: Chicken Hawk
