I found that rollers do indeed wear down your tyres very quickly. So I’d chuck in some spare wheels too with trainer tyres on.
I have read this before on here and I have never experienced the same. Your tyres should be pumped up (really) hard when riding the rollers, what sort of pressure were you riding?
My track bike has had the same tyres on for over two years and has been ridden for hours on the rollers and they still look pretty good.
You can do a really good warm-up on the rollers, if you learn to spin then you can get up to Z4/5 easily.
