i'm not familiar with training tires, how they differ, or their intended use. but i do have a set of conti ultra 2000s i got through a trade because i thought they were my favorite, sport 1000s. i think they're considered 'training.' should they be used with a liner?

thanks for that. is it true that wire/non folding tires are easier to install than the folding type?
