My only complaint with riding on the rollers was the high-pitched noise. It turns out the noise was from my good tires on the rollers. These fixed that. No more noise so I can ride the rollers any time and quietly.
No grip allows a smooth performance on my trainer.
Great product, lives up to advertised parameters. Use on trainer 2-4 times a week now for three months and have no flats from heat or mechanical pinching.
I mounted it on a training wheel that I swap for my regular wheel and tire when I go on the trainer. Highly resistant to heat and wear at a very good price.
I have about 200 miles on these tires, excellent so far)
It does exactly what its supposed to do- less noise, less heat, a better training experience.
I have used the same tire for the past three winters on my Kurt Kinetic in training for the upcoming season. I have put tons of miles on it and it's still going strong. I highly recommend it.
For use solely on a trainer but well worth it. It saves your regular tires and is much quieter.
Works and is like it is described
I've used this tire - Vittoria Zaffiro Pro Home Trainer- with my TACX trainer and so far no issues. You do need to ensure your tire pressure as well as the pressure applied to the roller is spot on otherwise you'll slip, increase wear, etc. It takes a few times to figure this out. I keep my tire 100psi.
I put this tire on a old wheel I have and when I ride on my trainer I use this instead of my tire that I usually have on the bike. There is no rubber shedding of the tire or the rubber smell that you usually get when riding on trainers.
I use this on my road bike mounted to a TACX trainer. It has lasted longer than similar other products. I generally do not use Vittoria products on my bicycle, but this training tire seems to be the most durable on the market.
I have used the same tire for the past two winters and have logged a lot of miles on it. The rubber is wearing down, but I could easily get another winter out of it (and probably more if I want to wear it down to nothing). I haven't had any problems at all.
