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

This is the second set of Gatorskin tires I have purchased. I have found them to be very comfortable and durable.

Title pretty much says it all. Bought two new Gatorskins. Put them on this morning and went for a 25 mile ride. The rear tire was going flat as I pulled into my driveway. I bought these to replace some aging Michelins so I guess I will put those back on.

I just finally put on the new tires two weeks ago. I already had two flats on the same tire. I must have a bad one.

My standby tire for all of my road bikes.

Excellent!

I bought this tire to replace the Continental Race tires I used regularly. Race tires would catch flats fairly often. Not so with the Gatorskins! No looking back-these tires last and take a beating without fail over a variety of surfaces-concrete, asphalt, tar and chip. Best example No issues over the Greater Allegheny Passage-an old railroad converted to bike trail between Cumberland Md and Pittsburgh Pa. Trail is a fine crushed limestone. No issues with the Gatorskins. They are a little heavier than some tires, but at least I'm not off my bike on the side of the road fixing a flat!

I absolutely love these tires! I have been riding on these for several years now and won't train on anything else. Here on Wyoming's rural roads, chip sealed pavement and otherwise rough roads are the norm. with regular tires I can count on several flats a season. With these, maybe just one or two. They last me a few thousand miles. They aren't too heavy and the feel isn't bad.

Gator Skin Tires are tough tires, I have used nothing but Continental tires on my Cannondale Synapse Road Bike, Bought these tires that were on sale from BTD, and what an awesome deal! I will use these tires as my training tires because of the tough rubber on the tire, and for their resistance to flats!!!

Performs flawlessly

The gatorskins were the first tires i bought, and I still use them!

I've used gatorskins for years and find them to be a great combination of durability, puncture resistance and ride quality.

These gatorskins have good rolling resistance and no problems with flats.

Great tires for the city, they are light and tough.

Used for road riding. Tire rolls nicely and flats are rare. Very durable.

My son and I both use this tire because we want a tire that is durable and this tire serves that purpose.

Whenever I do a trail tour, I put on my skins and have never punctured.

I often find myself riding on good and not so good roads. The Continental Gatorskin is my go to tire for distance riding and training on crummy roads and has not let me down yet. At sale pricing this tire is a steal and highly recommended.

I bought the folding version, on sale. Very easy to mount. Got them on without tire levers. Nice.

Only 200 miles on them, and no flats or complaints.

I've had several different brands of tires including Hutchinson, Vittoria, and Vredestein. The Gatorskins are not quite as supple or grippy as the Vittorias but they have been basically bulletproof in almost 5,000 miles. (two pairs). Would not pay retail price but great value when on sale!

Last tires had a bubble and I had 2 pictures. I have confidence in the Gatotskins!
