Great Winter Training Tire

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.

Thank you for your feedback.

Best 'insurance' tire for avoiding flat and still pleasant to ride on.

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.

Thank you for your feedback.

My all around stsndard

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.

Thank you for your feedback.

Gator skins are awesome

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

Great so far

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.

Thank you for your feedback.

Great tires

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.

Best train tires

This set of tires can give you long miles to train as hard as you can. There are no other tires than can give you the long lasting and most importantly the anti punctured resistance. These work fine for almost any road conditions.
