You want a smooth tire for trainer use. Otherwise it will sound like a motorcycle.chainstay said:but I don't know much about "trainer specific tires". Maybe someone else will chime in here.
Sometimes new tires require quite a bit of force to get the last section over the rim. Make sure the tube is all the way centered over the rim and not sticking out making it more difficult to get the last little bit of tire over the rim. Some new tires are more difficult and tigher than others to get on, and some rims are tougher than others to get a tire on. After you have ridden a tire for awhile, it tends to loosen up a little and will go on the rim a little more easily the second time.I'm still having trouble putting the tire on.
That is probably the best way to learn as opposed to reading a description.I might give in and ask a more experienced cyclist friend of mine to help me put the tire on.
