Tire wear on trainers, yeah you will wear out a brand new tire in a winter of trainer rides. I know you have already purchased a new tire however for others that follow this thread might I recommend that they just buy a $20 23mm road tire from their LBS.
Trainer skewers fit in the trainer mounts better and work just fine as a road skewer year round. I only change mine out for non trainer use out of vanity, I like the look of my 105 skewers or a nicely shaped Mavic skewer.
