I have had four flats when riding rollers so far in the last month and zero flats on the road despite the fact that I have WAY more hours on the road. Are rollers typically that much harder on tires?

Do you run the same tire pressure on rollers as on the road?

There's debris on the road which could cause flats, whereas there's no danger from debris when riding rollers. That being said, I once had two flats within 10 mins of each other when riding the rollers, both caused by a slight shift of the rim-tape (before I switched to Velox™ rim-tape).

As to pressure - I use the same as I do on the road (~110 psi). I use slicks for both road and rollers; they make roller riding so very quiet, the slightest tread on the tyres will make riding the rollers really noisy.

I know some people who use solid tires when on the trainer, but forgot what brand name they are called. (Rolling resistance on a trainer is not as important as when on the road, so people can live with this in return for no worry about flats.) There are also Greentyres [1] that are in this category, but I have *zero* clue how good/bad they are.
