Knowing what to buy

Hi, new to this world of turbo trainers and indoor cycling, even cycling in general.
I’ve got a Cannondale trail 8 MTB that I want to get using on a turbo trainer. I’ve bought the wheel on Lifetime TT-01 for now. My tyres are 29 x 2.25, I’m not sure what size turbo tyre I would need to accommodate this? (Rear hub 160mm)
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

Unless your bike has wide inner rim width wheels greater than approx 25mm, an MTB trainer tyre of ~35mm like https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00EYDUCLQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00 will be fine.
I don't think it's been set up yet, but I bought that very tyre for my sister last month, to use with a wheel-on trainer I bought from PlanetX to use with her Carrera Crossfire 2.================
