ContinentalGatorskin 700c Road Tire (Folding)(Return to Product Page)

I bought these for my commuter bike. After close to 2000 miles over two years, they still look almost brand new and I have yet to (knock on wood) have a puncture. These tires are light, smooth rolling, and most importantly, very tough. I have taken them on city streets, hard pack gravel, and dirt trails, and they work great.

I just retired my rear wheel's 700 x 25 Folding Gatorskin after 5700 miles. I'm 6'3 and weigh 230. I ride suburban and county road club rides in temperatures as low as 10 and as high as 95 at rolling speeds from 14 to 21 . I inflate to 110 psi before every ride. I've been very pleased with the comfort, grip, and durability of Gatorskin tires.

They feel great on the bike. I love the traction and the feeling of confidence I have when their on my wheels.

Kudos to Continental Gator Skins!!

I use this on my city bike and it's been perfectly fine so far. No flats and decent traction

Best, most durable, least likely to get flats tire I've ever bought and Bike Tires Direct has it at the best price I could find.

Very durable and reliable, yet still rolls reasonably well

Easy to install and good at holding the road on turns and turning up the speed on straightaways.

Good tire for daily use with good protection against punctures. Can be difficult to mount.

Cannot beat these for a tire that can be used foff for training and racing due to there high reliability from flats. Heavier than 5000s. If you have ever seen a triathlete on the side of road attempting to change a tire during a race you now know what I am writing about.

I use this tire for my all rounder because it is tough especially with someone over200 lbs! I get 2-3k out of each tire. I use them on all my day to day bikes including my Tandem. They are some tough tires!

Added these tires to my wife's ride.

Excellent for more short gravel sections and a cushy ride with lower tire pressure.

Excellent pricing!

I bought these to replace a pair of beaded gator skins. I wanted more flat protection without adding weight. After 6 months I have been very happy. Only one flat from a packing staple though I have pull chunks of glass out of them a few times with no flats. They were easy to mount despite not having a wire bead. I will buy these again.

I've used them for years and they standup well and perform great

Have used these tires on two bikes over the last 6 years. Rarely have flats. Mileage seems good. I think the folding tire may be a little easier to mount than non-folding

Use Gatorskins for training and fitness. Like the looks and the durability.

It seems like I should be buying these tires by the dozen because I'm putting on my son's and my bikes. With the new testing for rolling drag it's clearly evident for us fast-recreational riders that bigger is better especially when you're a Clydesdale in your old age. Still some of us never break 190 lbs even when fit and need bigger tires.

Use on all my road bikes. Rolls great and puncture resistant.

I've tried many tires and this is the best. Have been using Gator skins for years and have had great experiences. In last six or seven years only had one flat and it was my fault. Ran them all year , once even to the cores. Get great wear out of them. Wish they made them tubeless.

Great price, quality product.

Provides great protection against flats, rolls well and wares well. Been using them for years and have not found a better all around tire.
