I've brand new Continental Ultra sport tyre on GIANT Cross city bike mounted on TACX Flowsmart trainer. Whenever I exercise, tiny tyre particles come out & spoil the whole floor (mostly back side). This looks like an unusual behaviour. Anyway to prevent this from happenning? I've some pictures that I can post.

    Hello, and thanks for your post. What you're seeing is common for all wheel-on style indoor trainers and standard road tires.

    We recommend the use of a specialty indoor trainer tire. This will give you the best accuracy, reduce noise, prevent slipping, and are specially designed to withstand the high pressure and high temperatures arising while training indoors.

    For reference: Rear Tire Tips When Using a Wheel-On Trainer

    Garmin US offers a 700x23c indoor training tire: PART NUMBER T1390
    You can find many "indoor trainer" tires available from other tire manufacturers as well. The maximum compatible tire size for the Tacx Flow Smart is 700 x 32c (622-32).
