OK so just bought a turbo but do you just use a slick mtb road tyre (and if so what size? turbo's a TACX)or a dedicated turbo tyre
more to do with with having osteoperosis than being frightened 😥 aint worth the risk on ice
Yes you can use a slick, but because the turbo builds up heat, there are dedicated tyres with a compound that resists the heat better. I use a continental one, they last longer (I'm told, though mine shows little wear in months of use).
I use the slicks that are already on my mtb and have noticed any wear on them (spesh nimbus).

Slicks here too! Too noisy otherwise
i popped my roadbike on the Tacx Satori, and just used the standard tyres. I done it in the conversatory andthe turbo ate the tyre. Think i had too much pressure on the tyre from the roller. Black 'marbles' all over the conservatory floor, walls and kitchen door. Missus wasn't too happy..... took much cleaning.
