The Tacx Trainer Tyre (T1390) is designed for dedicated indoor cyclists who want to protect their outdoor gear and improve their training efficiency. By utilizing a specialized rubber compound, this tire significantly reduces overheating, slipping, and noise levels compared to standard road tires, making it an essential upgrade for wheel-on trainer setups. It is important to note that this tire is strictly engineered for indoor use only and must not be used on the road, as it lacks the tread and durability required for outdoor terrain.

No. The rubber compound is specifically designed for the smooth, controlled environment of an indoor trainer and does not offer the grip or puncture protection needed for road use.
The T1390 is designed for 700c wheels. If your mountain bike uses 700c/29-inch rims, it may fit, but ensure your rim width is compatible with a 23mm wide tire.
No. Direct-drive trainers like the Tacx NEO remove the rear wheel, so no trainer tire is required.
When used exclusively on an indoor trainer with proper roller pressure, it will significantly outlast a standard road tire, usually lasting for thousands of kilometers.
Always follow the pressure range printed on the tire sidewall, typically between 6-8 bar (85-115 psi) for most 700x23c tires.
Check your tire pressure; under-inflated tires have more surface contact but can deform and slip. Tighten the pressure knob on the trainer until the roller is firm against the tire.
Ensure the trainer roller is clean and free of rubber buildup. Verify that the tire is seated perfectly straight on the rim.
Installation
Installing the T1390 is identical to a standard clincher road tire. Ensure your rim tape is properly seated before mounting the tire to avoid punctures. Once installed, inflate the tire to the recommended pressure indicated on the sidewall to ensure it maintains the correct shape for your specific trainer roller.
Compatibility
This tire is compatible with the following Tacx wheel-on trainers: Antares, Blue Matic, Blue Twist, Booster, Flow Smart, Galaxia, and Satori Smart. Note: This tire is not required for direct-drive models like the Tacx NEO Smart, as they do not use a rear tire for resistance.
Care
Periodically inspect the surface of the tire for any debris or embedded grit that may have been picked up from the floor. Keep the roller of your trainer clean to ensure a long lifespan for the tire compound.
