I want to bid on a trainer but want to make sure there are not problems riding my MTB tire on the equipment.

I noticed that some trainers require a slick tire.

Any help out there?

You can use a knobby, but it will be so noisy you'll want to wear earplugs. Pick up an old wheel and
put a slick tire on it.

Use a knobby if you like that numb feeling "down there". The rubber will paint your livingroom wall
in short order. Look for a rim drive trainer if you don't want to change tires, otherwise get a $5
slick tire to go with it.

simple. change your rear tire to a slick tire for use on the trainer. Takes only a few minutes and a
pair of tire levers.
