What PSI were you running on the trainer?

I destroyed a Conti GP 4k II on my trainer this winter too because I was running it around 80 PSI. When I noticed how destroyed it was I did some googling and learned that on the trainer you should really be using the max PSI supported by your tier (i.e. 115-120).

I ended up getting a trainer tire to put on a spare wheel and have been happy with that so far. But if you run a hard tire like Gatorskins, those seem to be fine at a high pressure. Any sort of racing tire will definitely be used up quickly regardless of pressure.
