I hope this is the right section to post. I recently bought a lower end trainer. I've only ridden for a few weeks (because I get home so late) but the damn thing is already eating up the right side of the tire. I'm looking for any help. Including setup tips or trainer tire preferences. Please help.

It may be the tension that your putting between the roller and the tire? Lower the tension a little and see if that helps.

Had the same thing happening. Bought a trainer specific tire and have had NO wear since. Got mine on sale at performance bike.

Ask your local bike shop if they offer or can assemble a trainer tire for you. It's a cheap wheel/hub, a cheap cassette of the right brand and cog count to match your existing wheel, and a trainer-specific tire. You'll add a cheapo tube, and use the skewer that came with your trainer. Should be <$200 for the whole get-up, and it'll save you numerous ~$50-$70 tires.

It really shouldn't wear the tire on only one side. Something isn't set up squarely.

I have a trainer tire, and really prefer it. Currently have a tacx one and it is relatively lousy, but easy to mount. Had the orange conti one, and it was great but much hardr to mount. Mounting is not a big deal if you have a dedicated trainer wheel, which is ideal.

This is what I did and it works great.
