Always ride with these tires

Great value for the money. Good on all road surfaces. Very few flat tires over the years and then mostly due to not changing them out when they are worn out.

Thank you for your feedback.

My go to tire

Good tire. Always buy them when on sale. I have had problems with what I believe is the anti puncture layer on the sidewalls wanting to peel off.

Thank you for your feedback.

Great ride on my giant defy road bike

Worried that these 28s would not fit but they fit great. I was amazed at the difference in my ride after using 25s. Very smooth ride.

Thank you for your feedback.

Nice durable road tires

Purchased a pair of these in 700c x 23 tires for an older road bike with limited tire clearance. I selected the Gatorskins for a combination of high puncture resistance, reasonable price, and good prior experiences with these in a wider size.

Thank you for your feedback.

The reliable choice.

Great product. Good all weather commutingtraining tire. Very good flat resistance. Not the absolute best for high speed cornering, but more than adequate for any uses other than racing. This has been my go-to tire for years and I've ridden them in every type of condition. Even ridden through piles of glass without flatting. (although I did have to pick it all out afterwards - not a recommended behavior) Consistent high quality product that has yet to disappoint.

Thank you for your feedback.

Flat resistent, smooth riding

Use the tires on my Trek Domane. Love the toughness that resists flats - have been using these for several years with very few flats. Bought a wider size to accommodate my new bike with disc brakes and the resulting ride is noticeably smoother. Decent mileage.

Thank you for your feedback.

Awesome Tire. My last pair lasted for 5000 miles and only 1 flat

I have no issues with this tire. They track well on all road surface types and grip the road well. Earlier this year I was caught in a rain storm (two inches in one hour) they held their grip on the road until I could find shelter.

Thank you for your feedback.

Excellent training tire or recreational rider tire for those who want to minimize flats.

This tire gives me confidence for long training rides where I am more concerned about endurance over speed.

Great tire if durability and reliability trumps lightweight.

I have over 3,000 miles on my last set of Gatorskins and as the wear dimples are almost gone, it was time to order another pair. First set of road tires that I have not experience any flats with where others have failed. I think they provide a good ride quality (though no the best) and are reasonably light weight (though not the lightest). However, as I don't race I value a trouble free ride where I may be 20 to 30 miles away from my starting point more than a few grams.

Thank you for your feedback.

no flats!

I just rode Tour de Blast, people were flatting left and right. I spoke with folks who suffered two and three flats on the ride. I couldn't find even a nick in my gatorskin.

good tire for bad raods

I have used these tires for the last couple of years with good results. Until now. My last set had about 2k miles on them and were starting to show wear so I changed them. Got a flat the next week, I don't know what I hit but it put a gash at the top of the sidewall. So I changed that tire after a week. Two weeks after I changed tires, I got another puncture, this one right through the center of the tire. I am no longer using this tire.

Thank you for your feedback.
