PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a tire warmer which raises the temperature of a tire, is superior in heating efficiency of keeping the raised temperature, and can certainly improve the fuel economy of an automobile without applying an excessive load on an engine. SOLUTION: The tire warmer A has a guiding opening for guiding a traveling wind W accompanying an engine exhaust heat (motor exhaust heat) into a wheel house H provided in the wheel house H inner than the tire T in a vehicle width direction. The tire warmer A increases the temperature of the tire T with the engine exhaust heat staying in the wheel house H unlike a conventional tire warmer, and keeps the raised temperature. Therefore, a fan or compression unit for blowing warm air onto the surface of the tire T is not required. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
