    I have a wheel and tire dedicated to using on the trainer. Is it ok to use my regular tires on the rollers? Do I want to keep them inflated to typical road pressure?
    I'd rather be swimming...biking...running...and eating cheesecake...

    I just use my regular tires and wheels for my PVC rollers. No dedicated anything. I keep the tires at my standard pressure (105-110 psi).

    My DH also uses the same wheels and tires on his AL rollers. We noted some "shining" that happened to his tires when he used his for the first time. We don't know if that's usual, or due to the fact that the rollers are brand new (he hasn't used the rollers since) and/or aluminum, but he's since done road rides on those same times. The shining's gone away and the tread appears to be fine.
