The first time my DH used the trainer I bought him for Xmas 2 years ago, he used a regular old worn-out tire...and the wall behind the trainer was covered in black rubber bits that tore and shredded off the tire with just 1 use. After cleaning up that mess on the wall, we decided to buy a trainer tire...much better and cleaner.
Interesting. I've never had that problem with my Kurt Kinetic trainer.
