did you mean that you do not have to degrease as often as you ride outdoors? Then yes

So maybe just lube the chain when it gets try. Any maintenance-free lube to recommend? Think probably dry lube would be suitable in this case

If buy turbo trainer, is it necessary to buy special tayar for it? Some say, if use normal tayar, can melt the tayar coz no tahan heat. I sked its some kind of marketing boogeyman, so what u guys think? Based on your experience.

No issues using it, don't think it will melt but it will definitely prematurely wear out the tyre because of the different compound.

Trainer specific tyres aren't meant to be on the road due to this factor too and mounting tyres is a lot of hassle so it is best if you can either get an extra pair of wheels(or just the rear) or for that amount of extra cash, go for an entry level or a knockoff direct drive trainer such as the Gravat 2? IF you have not bought a trainer that is

prematurely wearing out tyre can perhaps set you back more monetarily to be perfectly honest

To most of us weekend warriors, with a mileage of 6,000-10,000km per year, 1.5(front once rear twice) sets of tyres is normal, you may have to change your rear tyres twice as often

also not sure how true is this but a friend of mine once complained that normal road tyres heat up quicker on magnetic trainers resulting in multiple tube replacements.
