I assume you're riding their aluminum rollers with resistance. I would put on your regular road tires for better traction. No reason not to. You'll have a little tire wear but nothing significant. Because the contact patch is so much larger on rollers than on a trainer, trainer-specific tires are not indicated. I have ABS drums on my rollers and over the years I've worn down the plastic a little. I expect you'll wear down the alu rollers a tiny bit over a decade.
