Especially good in winter time like now, can have such an item at 4 stages of extra heat b4 race start/after pit stops etc.
the best level of tyre warmer can have the tyres light blue when put on the car etc (Example)
And the lowest level slightly warmer than they start now.
Stage 1 tyre warmers can be got as a level 6 manager.
stage 2 - level 8
stage 3 - level 10
stage 4 - level 12
there could even be a charge for using them each race as well the original purchase.
Could such a Research item be implemented in future?

Having tyres optimin right as you put them on is something iGP should implement. Would stop silly strategies of 6 stops with Softs in 100% races just wrecking people doing 3 stops on Hards, all due to the fact the Hards suck in the opening laps. In what sereis are tyres not promed for their driver before they arer put onto a car?
I can't see instant optimin tyres ruining the point of running Softs. They still give better quali pace and should favour tracks where overtaking isn't too difficult I would think.

Limiting the number of tires to 3 softs and 3 hards (4 Inters and 4 wets) and making the weather more viable (which tire rebalance is on the to do list I am sure).
Tire Blankets will probably come a step aftewards.

A limit on the number of each compound you can use in a race would prevent 6 stops on Softs being the fastest on some tracks which still sounds silly to me. But I still think it's cause the fuel effect not only makes your car heavier, it slows down the speed at which the tyres reach their optimum.
