Yeah don't use a road tyre. The smell alone will drive you nuts and that's before you notice the streak of burned rubber up your back and up the wall.
Tacx do decent turbo tyres.
Zwift minimal cost

The one I recommended does not make a mess. The BKools have a metal roller, where as some other brands have a nylon/plastic roller. I tried the Schwalbe Insider, and it was no better than my worn Vredesteins but the Blue dust was very noticeable! In fact I was going “slower” using those special indoor tyres than the worn Vredesteins.

Both side are wound right in!!!
If the left thread in the picture will not wind in further, then that is it with that bike. A disc brake bike has wider 135mm chain stays so will allow more adjustment. or a MTB 142mm. Last time I used a bkool, the alignment was off centre but not as much(135mm cyclo-cross bike)

First download the BKOOL Toolkit on your phone and make sure the firmware is up to date and the trainer is unlocked. If it still doesn’t work, install Bkool Indoor Simulator and try it there.
It could be faulty. Try and source another. You could try another device like an Android phone which have Ant+ built in. Download the vkool application
