A) Why is the tire yellow? Does yellow withstand heat better? What's
the material? I've heard that adding carbon black to rubber will make
it harder and more wear-resistant.
B) Why does an indoor tire need a folding bead? Do riders on trainers
carry spare tires in their bike bags?
C) Why can't it be used outdoors?
D) Despite my doubts, is this $35 + shipping tire a godsend to riders
who use trainers? Will it outlast four cheap tires?
"At last, a tire designed to stand up to the stresses of an indoor
trainer! Save your expensive tires for the road, and eliminate the
hassle of constantly wearing and changing el-cheapo tires through the
off season. The high performance “cool-running” tread compound and
casing are designed to withstand the extreme heat build between the
tire and roller drum on a trainer. This tire is built to last! “Conti
Yellow” tread and sidewalls. Folding bead. 110 psi recommended, 120
psi max. 280 grams. For indoor trainer use only; do not use outdoors."
