ContinentalGator Hardshell 700c Road Tire (Folding)(Return to Product Page)

I bike to work every day and these tires provide extremely good puncture resistance. They are a little hard and heavy, so I wouldn't recommend then for racing.

Folding makes them easy to carry home. They go on and stay on. The dimples tell you when it's time for new rubber. Flats are rare to never. They feel great on the road. I've mostly ridden them on my track bike around the city and they last longer than any other tire I've tried. They corner well. Sometimes a bit challenging to take off.

These are some of the best tires on the market. They roll smooth and quiet. The only negative is that I had a lot of difficulty getting tire on rim.

Great puncture protection and amazing durability. I usually get about 6K miles per set in the Arizona heat.

One set of tires has run over 2 years commuting every single day all year round on glass ridden and who knows what else Portland bridges and downtown streets without a single flat. Luck, maybe? But I'll attribute it to the tire. Running 25mm.

I have used Gatorskins for years and they are very durable.

These tires are great easy to put on and a joy to ride on

Hands down test best tires I ride and now the only ones....fast last thousands of miles and no flats

I use these tires for everyday commutes and hard training

My new Gator Hardshell tires are the best set of tires I've ever used on my Trek 5500 road bike. I have over 20,000 miles on my bike and gone thru a variety of road bike tires. None are better than the Hardshells
