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

Was getting frequent punctures on Ultrasports due to small stones and glass. After two weeks, none on Gatorskins, and they feel good, although not a flexible in the wall as my favourite summer tyre - Velosports, which have a much better feel.

I use Gatorskins to get more miles and less flats.

I get about double the miles i would get from the 4000s or the 5000 s.

These tires wear well and are needed in SW FL where the road shoulder is home to glass and truck tread wire filaments. Very durable and decent handling - Gatorskins are a good match in gator country.

This is a great tire for winter training. Sure, they are heavier but the make up for that by lasting a long time and being much more puncture resistant that my GP4000s. Besides, during the winter, I don't need or want to go fast.

They are easy to install and I've never had a problem changing a flat

In terms of value, at full retail, they are just average. But when this tire goes on sale, the savings are quite substantial and the value rating is 5 stars. This tire often goes on sale but not in November.

Best tires for winter training. I have them on 4 sets of wheels. A tough tire and the ride isn't compromised. I ride through the typical glass, small rock and metal debris all winter long with no issue. The weight is a tad up but hey, it's winter training and it's a very nice trade off for not having to swap out a flat tube in the 38 degree rainy weather.

Been running these tires on my bikes for over 10 years averaging over 6,000 miles per year. Not very sticky on the curves, but very manageable. Payback on terms of reduced number of flats and longer miles than most. Side walls are weak, do need to pump up to over 100 psi to avoid pinch flats. Makes for a harsher ride, but gets you home in one piece.

This is my summer commute tire, Only one season so far. Bluesfrog

Great ride and lots of flat free miles

Protects from flats like a boss.

Get the job done nothing fancy, no flats yet

I love my new tires

Great worry free road tire, I also tend to wind up on gravel during my random rides, again no worries! Been riding them all spring/summer no issues at all.

Noticeably less rolling resistance than my previous tires, Schwalbe Lugano, which came on the bike. Nice ride. I haven't had them long enough to comment on puncture resistance and durability, but so far I'm really happy with them.

Great tire, very responsive to all road conditions.

I've used these tires for the last six years and will continue to do so. The last set gave me 7000 miles on each tire.

Ive had them for about a month and so far they are great! these true and tried great road tires.

These worked so great on my first road bike. My only regret is that I didn't buy the new set when I got my new road bike earlier this year...goat heads finally got me this summer and BTD was my next stop! Baaaa baaaa goat heads!

Very happy with my Gatorskins, nothing not to like. Durable, great value. Will purchase Again in future

On the terrible roads I ride on these tires are super great. They really help minimize flats from road debris.

These tires last forever with hardly any flats.
