Help with trainer

I have a magnetic resistance trainer with 3 resistance levels. Rode my fixed gear with it the other night, and couldn't get past a zone 1 heart rate. Gearing was 45/16. Would I be able to get into a higher heart rate zone if I use my road bike instead? Only catch is I will have to at least buy a crappy tire and try it out. If I like it, might have to get a separate rear wheel and cassette. Any thoughts on whether it would be worth trying the road bike with a trainer tire?
