You need a separate turbo-designated wheel because you can't ride this tyre on the road
You can trust Cycling Weekly.
With the unpredictable weather we’ve been having, it's a good idea to have a contingency plan in the shape of your old turbo trainer.
It’s not the nicest way to spend a training session and can increase the wear of your winter treads, so replacing the tyre with one specific to the job has its benefits. The Vittoria Zaffiro Pro home trainer tyre does everything it should – the tread pattern helps dissipate heat and the constant drone of the tyre on roller is substantially reduced.
The only issue that may arise is if you only have one pair of wheels — who wants to continually swap tyres? The bright red also works well to let you know you have a turbo tyre on; you don’t want to be riding down the road on one of these, it’ll be like riding on ice!
