Hello guys!
I would to ask you is there an improper wear of the tyre when we use the same tyre for the outdoor on the road and indoor. Example: Zwift with Tacx and same time use tyre for road outdoor.
Thank you in advance !

Don't do a great deal on a turbo, but I've always used the wheel/tyre as I would for the road. Never gone fast enough in the garage to cause over heating.

I don't have any worn out tyres yet since I restarted cycling last year, but my turbo trainer does seem to heat the tyre and wear it quicker and I don't want that to happen with my nice Gatorskins. So I got a couple of very cheap tyres and use one of them on an old wheel for the turbo. They were only £5.99 each, and so nasty I wouldn't trust my life to them on the road, but they're fine on the turbo when I'm not relying on them to keep me upright.

Check that the 'other' wheel is the same from locknut to locknut (130mm OLN). If not, it will not fit your dropouts.
Your 11 speed chain will be much narrower (than a 6-8sp chain) so worth staying on just one (7sp) sprocket when you're on the turbo - try shifting (11sp STI on 7sp cassette) and you'll soon know why.
Have a look at Sheldon. Since 9 x 10sp sprockets can be installed on a 7-speed hub, using 10-speed spacing, maybe this would give you a few more sprockets on your turbo (since 11sp STIs will do 3 or 4 10sp sprockets before too much complaint): NB 11-speed cassettes will fit only 11-speed bodies.
Think you will get increased chain wear.
Let us know how it goes.

Hi guys. You are is absolutely right. What I will do - buy new wheel with the same original Cassette
Shimano 105, 11-32, 11-speed.
I will just change bout wheel for indoor and outdoor. I think that is easy way. It will cost me around £150 totally.
To be honest I relay want to use this :http://www.wiggle.co.uk/tacx-flux-direct-drive-smart-trainer-black-one-size/

I wouldn't spend £150 on a wheel to use on a turbo indoors, especially as the wheel isn't even supporting your weight. I'd look for a cheaper wheel and cassette with the same spec (assuming they exist - if a cheaper cassette isn't viable, then the 105 on a cheap wheel).
