I just got some rollers for the winter.  I'm planning on riding my single speed/fixed gear commuter bike on them (RedLine 925).  It currently has some treaded city type tires on it.  Can I just keep these on there, or should I look into trainer tires or something more heavy duty ??

You should be fine. I don't swap when I use rollers. The tires get a little bit of a silvery sheen on them after a while, but that comes off in the first 10 feet of the road. I don't think you get the same issues as you do with trainer, but that might just be my experience. Others may disagree.

TJ's right.  I don't swap mine for the rollers, just the trainer.  Really knobby tires will be LOUD on rollers, but I don't think you're talking about those.

There should be no problem.
