I have a travel trac fluid trainer. I just use my normal road tires since I don't spend that much time on the trainer, but with winter approaching I've been eyeing a trainer tire of some sort. Mainly I'd be seeking a quieter trainer experience, since with the GP4000s on my normal rear wheel it makes a lot of noise.
The reviews of trainer tires generally mention that they are quieter than normal road tires, and I've got a spare rear wheel/cassette, so I think it might be worth the $40 plunge to see if I can quiet things down and not wake up my wife when I'm sitting on the trainer at 6 AM in January.
Any of you guys have back to back experience with trainer tires/regular road tires as far as noise?
