Reliable

Is this my favorite tire? No. But given the miles I ride and the roads, this is a very good tire for the price (on sale). As far as rolling resistance, nothing beats the Michelin Pro but the Continental is a more durable tire and since I do not want to change tires on the side of the road very often, this is my preferred tire. It's not easy to get on the wheel but since it is very durable, you don't have to worry about that too much. I ride between 1500 and 2000 miles on a set before I change them. When the top is flat, time to change.

Thank you for your feedback.

Haven't found a better tire on the market for durability and flat prevention.

After two rides across the USA I find the Gatorskins are the best at preventing sidewall blowouts and flats.

Thank you for your feedback.

Gator Skins purchase

Nothing but good service and merchandise. Will use for future buys. 3284 miles last year and kept old tires as backups in between flat rotations. Key to no flats is watch the road. Gator Skins are my tire of choice for the blacktop.

Thank you for your feedback.

Gatorskins are reliable

Using gatorskins for over 6 years, never have a reason to complain about them, folders and wire bead are interchangeable for me. Expect a fight when you put them on new...

Thank you for your feedback.

1st Gatorskin tires

These are the first Gatorskin tires I've used. Previous tires were the Grand Prix 4000 SII's. So far I love the Gatorskin. We have horrible , debris -lined roasts here in Mobile and I haven't had a flat yet. Great price too.

Thank you for your feedback.

The ONLY tire I will buy!

After many years of daily urban commuting and weekend club rides (average 100 miles per week) the Gatorskin tire is the only one I've tried that I can depend on to not flat and which will outlast all others. Buy this tire, unless you like changing flats at the side of the road!

Thank you for your feedback.

Perfect winter tires

Ordered these for my winter/city bike for the added puncture protection. These are perfect for filling that need.

Best tire I ever owned

I have a set of 700x28 on my hybrid not sure of mileage but I have been riding on them for 7 or eight years I have had 'ZERO FLATS' they are pretty worn down. Talking about bang for your buck!

Excellent road tire

This is great road tire. On average these last 4000 miles. When the shallow wear indicator is gone, just replace and order new pair. So far only 1 flat this year.
