Continental home trainer tyre
Anyone use one of Continental's home trainer tyres?

I like it because it doesn't seem to wear out or make loads of rubber dust everywhere. But even though it's orange, mine still develops a line of grey stuff down the centre. You can rub this off to get back to the orange underneath, but it feels stickier than the rest of the tyre, and I wonder if it's some kind of intentional chemical reaction to make it grip better. Does anyone know?
Also, my 1up trainer makes a lot of growling noises, even though it's meant to be really quiet. Anyone else have this problem?
