And cleaning up ... took almost as long as the 25 miles! Rubber crumbs everywhere, haven't had that many on the bike / floor / carpet / countertop (!) since trig in HS.
Hutchinson Fusion Comps, great for racing, bad bad bad for training. At least the trainer's back in the closet until November. I can buy a an actual trainer tire then... /rant
I use Conti 3000's that have about 1,500 miles on them I save for my Fluid2...ride 90 or so minutes a day in winter on the trainer and have only switched a tire once this year...very little rubber on the mat under the bike.
What trainer are you using? The "Paris-Roubaix" model?
