A must tire for trainer use

I purchased this tire to use on my new Cyclops trainer. I had read that using a road tire will wear it down considerably, so I went with a trainer tire. I have been using Conti tires for years with great success, so I went with their trainer tire. I think it is way more durable for trainer use than a road tire would be, and much cheaper, also. As torturously boring as it is, I have been racking up the hours on the trainer, so I am glad I decided on this tire, as I'm sure my roadies woundn't have survived. A little hard to put on the rim, but worth it. Great product, and great price from BTD.

Thank you for your feedback.

Worked for me

I had been using worn out tires from my road bike on my Computrainer but always seemed to be having an issue at the worst possible time.

So last year I tried a Continental trainer tire. It lasted almost all year and I ride my trainer a lot!

The only reason it failed was likely my fault as I didn't notice the 120 pound inflation limit. I often went to 125-130 and eventually the rubber split along the length of the tire as a result of my over inflation.

I'm more careful with my new tire and so far it has held up as expected.

Thank you for your feedback.

Didn't want to ruin my good clinchers

I have a separate rear wheel for use with this trainer tire as I didn't want to wreck a good clincher tire on the trainer. Not much to report other than this tire is doing trainer duty and seems to be holding up.

Best home trainer tire !!!

I've used them all on all manner of trainers - Tacx, Elite and now Computrainer. The Continental trainer tire definitely lasts the longest - I put 5 days x 1.5 hours per session at pretty high wattage and the last tire was good thru about 9 months. Great value and no unwanted 120psi explosions at 4am!!!!

Thank you for your feedback.

Has better roller tracaction than my old trainer tire

I haven't used this long enough to judge its longevity. But I immediately noticed that it yielded better traction with the roller on my Kurt Kinetic trainer than my previous trainer tire. So I don't need to press the roller against the tire as hard to keep the tire from slipping when I do hard, standing intervals. Very pleased so far.

Thank you for your feedback.

Thought this was the answer, but no, just a tease.

I must hold the U.S. record on tire replacements for an indoor trainer. It may be do to a lot of hill training which I know puts extra pressure on the tire, but I only got about 10 rides before this tire let me down. I usually ride for 90 minutes on a Schwinn Velodyne which still works fine after 20 years, but I have gone through the tires. Still searching.

Thank you for your feedback.

Works great!

Very smooth in the trainer plus I'm preserving the life of my road tire(s) but not chewing them up in the trainer.

It works.

I'm hesitant to rate anything awesome but I give this tire five stars because it is long lasting. You must dedicate a wheel to the trainer, though, because you can't use this tire on the road (safely).

Thank you for your feedback.

Save the road tires for the road.

I thought I'd just use my old road tires but the smell of rubber and the dust particles that accumulated dissuaded me from continuing down that path. Fortunately, I read about this tire and picked one up when it was on sale. (I'm a grad student so I opted to only buy one for the back tire and use the old road tires on the front.) I am thoroughly pleased with the results no rubber smell, little to know dust accumulation and the ride is pretty much squeak free. I definitely give it my recommendation.

Thank you for your feedback.

Good Training Tire

Good tire so far, although I haven't used it a lot. Seems like it should be pretty durable. A bit difficult to mount.

loyal conti customer!

Thinking of riding inside, and going no where fast! Consider the Conti home trainer tire.

With the long and tough Colorado winters I pretty much ride on the trainer from late November till March. Right now, I guess I have around 500 miles inside and haven't had any indication of any failure from my home trainer tire.

Why am I not surprised, during the summer months I ride on their 4000s's and while I see people busy changing there flats, I'm focused on putting as many miles between me and them. I'm a sold loyal conti customer.

Does the job

I've also used a cheap road tire on a trainer thinking that if I kept the pressure up, it would survive. And that worked for a while but eventually the road tire would disintegrate from the inside, exposing the casing to the tube. Friction did the rest and I'd flat with a tube that I couldn't salvage by patching. I bit the bullet and switched to the Conti in January of '10. I have probably 1500 miles of trainer miles on this tire and it's been great. I keep the pressure at 110-120. I also do maybe a mile or so cool down at the end of my ride and I think it helps cool the tiredrum interface. MMy only complaint is that it's tough to get on initially.

Thank you for your feedback.

Durable!!!

Like the other reviewers, I have been using this tire on my trainer for the past 3 winters, which amounts to 4-5 hoursweek for 5months, and it is holding up great! Save your road tires and use this on the trainer.

Great Trainer Tire

Great product. I started riding a trainer with a normal bike tire and it was OK. This tire however eliminated a decent amount of noise compared to a normal road tire as well as being more sticky against the trainer wheel which helped prevent the squeaks that occur when cranking on the pedals. Over all a good tire and good value. I've had people tell me that they've had these tires last for years before needing to replace them.

Thank you for your feedback.

Excellent trainer tire.

I have used this tire with my Computrainer 3-5 timesweek for the last 3 years. It finally blew out a sidewall. Excellent indoor tire.

Lasted 101 hours before the tread separated.

This is the second Continental Hometrainer tire I've purchased, it was on sale. The first lasted 101 hours before the tire split causing the tread to separate and the casing wires to break. Not sure if this is good or bad but I was surprised the tire didn't last longer. Continental had advertised the tread would not separate! I'll probably try another tire next time even if it's more expensive.

Disintegrations at 500 miles

I have an Elite-Real Axium trainer. My first tires I used on it was some older road tire. It gave me about 1500 miles. Because of noise, numerous flats and finally a sidewall blow-out, I bought the Conti trainer tire. I am disappointed. I keep them inflated to about 115 psi. Both of the ones I have tried have disintegrated within 500-600 miles leaving piles of rubber crums on the trainer and on my bike. When the tire wears, flats follow. I am still searching.
