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

I ride around 7,000 miles a year and as such, I need a good tire at an affordable price. I get around 3,000 miles on a rear tire and double that on the front. I have researched tire prices extensively and I cannot find the tire any cheaper anywhere else.

This is my second set of GatorSkins and Ive never had a flat. Biketiresdirect also had the best price that I found.

I am mainly a commuter and need flat resistant tires. I have tried a number of other brands but the Gatorskins have always given me the most miles before replacement is necessary. The only reason I didn't give a 5 star rating is that I had one folding bead tire blow a side wall at only 1000 miles. Hope that was an anomaly.

Consistent with my previous experiences, Continental tires are top shelf and this tire is no exception. I also ordered Continental tubes due to the discount and will not buy another brand since these perform so well. I made the switch from 23 to 25 and run less pressure for a more noticeable and comfortable ride.

BTD is a great place to do business with great service, prices, and product availability.

Been riding on Continentals for several years because of the great price and quality

I am a 250 lb recumbent rider. Love this tire for touing. Light good grip, and easy to mount.

road bike last year 5056 miles , not bad for an 80yr old fart

Not the most supple or fastest ride on the world bud I'd rather save 15mins not changing a flat than her an extra 8 watts. 280 miles Fort Myers Beach to Key West. 12 flats including shreds on our group of 8. Mile of them had this tire.

Zero for me.

These are great tires. I have raced across the country twice in the Trans American Bike and had a total of two flats over the 8400 miles. Im racing again this summer and would never use any other tire.

Great tires, I live in an area where we have

Goat heads which flatten our tires every time we go out, but these tires give great protection. The small drawback is that the initial instastalatiin is a bit difficult because tire is tight

Great tires for training rides.

I have been using Gatroskins for years and have had minimal flats. The roads I ride on can be rough and periodically have broken glass on them. I have recommended, and will continue to recommend Gatorskins.

Tires replaced a heavier, stiffer, puncture resistant tire which provided a hard and slower ride. The Gatorskins smoothed out the ride, allowed a faster pace with less work and were easy to mount without breaking my thumbs. I have used Gatorsklins in the past with excellent reliability and longevity. I replace tires about every 3000 miles.

Other than being a.little difficult to get on the rims, these tires are perfect for riding where there may be some bits of trash or rocks on the shoulder. They roll we'll and hold up. I ride them consistently instead of others and the price is usually right.

These are the only tires I ride. I havent experienced a flat in over a year.

Dependable tire, puncture proof!

Have used these tires for our tandem for several years with no complaints. Tires are durable (no cutting) and have been pretty immune to flats as well.

I commute 5000 miles per year in NYC, with all of the various conditions and hazards that entails, from potholes, broken glass, cobblestones, oblivious pedestrians, drivers, trucks, buses (did I mention potholes?) and have come to rely exclusively on my Gatorskins. I usually go through two sets per year, riding 5 or 6 days per week, year-round and never have more than one or two flats per year.

best tires i ever used, no flats in two years knock on wood!!!!!!!!!

Over the years this tire has been my go to tire. Great for avoiding flats, and wear. I usually change them at 3000 miles, but they still have life in them.
