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

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.

Where I live the pavement is often bumpy, cracked, and not always well - maintained. Additionally, many of the paved routes I ride include gravel sections. I've used Gatorskin tires for the past few years, and I have never gotten a flat. I feel comfortable tackling the occasional gravel stretch with these tires. They also last a very long time. They may not be the fastest tire around, but I'll take durability over speed for where I live!

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

Added these tires to my wife's ride.

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

Excellent pricing!

These tires are solid! They were a bit challenging to get on my bike, but thanks to an expert friend, we got the job done. They work beautifully and have provided me hundreds of happy miles and hundreds more to come.

Former Maxxis devotee. Maxxis makes great road training tires but these Gatorskins wear even longer than the Maxxis. The wear guides in the tires are a great plus to a great tire. 4 years of riding this brand at 2500-3000 miles a year with only one flat, caused by an industrial size and strength staple. With Maxxis I'd get 1-2 flats a season.

I value puncture resistance over performance and the Gatorskin does a solid job in both categories. Not too heavy, yet does a good job of avoiding punctures. Not bullet proof, but it takes a significant object on the road to cause a flat.

I have been using these tires for a few years now for training and century rides. I have very few flats now. In fact, I wore out the rear tire without getting a flat and I do quite a bit of riding where radial tire wires and goat heads can be a problem. I always keep one or two of these tires on hand to replace those that I have worn out. Last at least 2000 to 2500 miles for me,

These tires are commuter workhorses. I get less flats with them, you can install them with maybe one tire lever - no pliers or injured hands! They last and last. Great value in the long run.

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

Durable. Easy to install and remove. I'm a recreational road rider with about 4,000 miles a year. Install new tires every year.

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

You know what youre getting with the Gatorskin. Flats are a thing of the past and they wear like iron but they are not plush and they are not light. Even the 700x32mm ones Ive been riding 65 psi are a bit jarring at times. I knew that when I bought them. And will buy them again when this set wears out.

Durable and easy to mount. What else is there. Would be nice to lose the Halloween colors.

I love these tires! They are on 3 sets of wheels for riding when it's raining, slick or grimy roads or even hard pack gravel. Durable and you can't really tell you are on a slightly thicker tire. The few flats I've had were large objects like over size staples or nails.

I have used these on my Roubaix for a couple of years, and will stick with them. Good handling and excellent wear. The wear indicators are a nice feature. They are a bit tough to mount the first time.
