Using bike in both trainer and actual road - What back tire to choose?
Hello!
This is my first post on the forum. I have been following it for quite a while.
I own a Ballistic taurus 29" in its stock configuration, but I have swapped out the tires for some thinner and cheaper innova IA-2066 700X38C. A friend of mine recently got rid of his bike trainer, tacx blue matic, and I got it for really cheap.
I ride my bike daily from/to school and back and usually for 1- 1&1/2 hour in the afternoon. My issue is that I now have the trainer, but no tires ideal for it! I can accept the fact that I will have to replace them much more often than I had to before, but I need some recommendations for tires I can use for both activites.
Thanks in advance!

Cheaper tires are usually a harder rubber compound (and thus more durable for on the trainer), so you made a good choice!
