For riding my rollers, I use my heaviest wheels, an old set of Campagnolo Ventos with deep aluminum rims, and a set of cheap wire bead tires. The heavy wheels and tires make the bike very stable on the rollers, making it easier to ride in a straight line, even no hands. The cheap tires are made with a fairly hard rubber compound that provides more rolling resistance. Rollers, even reduced radius ones have a much larger diameter than the roller on a trainer, so they cause much less tire wear. Using the same tires for several years now and can't detect much wear
