Yes I know they are hateful machines but I’ll ask anyway.

What’s a half decent tyre for use with a turbo trainer? any old cheap slick?

Cheers

any turbo tyre for ~£15

I’ve always just used old ones from the bike. I only use it through a few monhts of winter a few hours a week and never worn one out.

You could buy any old slick but the special design ones are supposed to be quieter if you are already spending money.

2nd buy a turbo tyre, so much quieter.

What jonba said. I use Lithion 2s on the winter / turbo bike, £9 each and they done 2 years of bike/turbo.

Halfords turbo tyre is £10, I use that. But previously, any old slick I had was OK too.

Any old cheap/worn tyre you have lying around. I’ve used part worn krylion carbons and rubinos with no problem at all. Don’t see the sense in spending money on a special tyre when there’s enough oem/worn/cut tyres in the garage to do 10,000 turbo miles

Turbo tyre, from on-one.

I had a turbo tyre (on a loan), went back to my worn out slicks off the commuter after a while, the standard slick was quieter… But if you don’t already have a suitable tyre then a cheap turbo tyre could make sense.
