training tyre

Hi all,when on the turbo the tyre is obviouslet a bit smooth,so when i want to go out for the odd ride what do i do.
If i put a fresh tyre on it with wear it out on the turbo.
Is it the done thing to get another cheep wheel and tyre and swap it when i go out.
Is there a budget training tyre and wheel combo.
many thanks :roll:

A few choices:
Put a new tyre on your wheel when you want to go on a road ride. Swap back when done.
Have a separate wheel and tyre for turbo (what most people do). Get cheapest available!
Get a really hard-wearing tyre that you can use on both turbo and road. Not ideal as tyre will still wear out.
Depends on your budget. Look on ebay for a cheap used wheel. I saw NEW wheels at Decathalon for £30. (You'll need a cassette too).
I think what Pokerface has said about the wheels from Decathalon is not a bad idea, you can get cheapish cassettes from them as well.
Will have to struggle till the spring then get a decent first bike and use this as a hack.
Thanks for your help.
Now i've opened a can of worms-which bike-o well here goes......
