ContinentalGatorskin 700c Road Tire (Wire Bead)(Return to Product Page)

Very durable with great low rolling resistance.

Good value, very durable-

great tire

They are a little hard to get on but offer great performance

Ride about 75 or more miles per week in urban setting. Here in Arizona we have goat head issues. So far so good.

I ride about 3000 miles a year and the tires I normally buy are about $60 each. When I can get Gatorskins for $40 or so, it is a steal. I get about 18 months out of a set of tires depending on road debris.

Very fast service.and always ready to answer your questions.

I've been riding Continental Gatorskin 700C Road Tires for years and they're a great tire. I just keep buying them over and over again.

The very first ride I thought that I wasn't going to like these tires. They felt super solid and heavy, not to mention they were pretty tough to put on the rim. Three rides and 40ish miles later they have improved in the way they ride and feel. They seem pretty tough and look good on the bike. Hope to get a lot of miles or of these. Overall, so far I believe they are a good buy and value.

These tires are great for winters in the southwest for winter trading with all the tire wires on the road and all the goatheads we have from the desert very few flats

these are great tires for durability and longevity

Ive been using these tires forever,well almost forever....even before i found out about bike tires direct. I get a ton of miles from them and very few if any flats. Strong,durable, could say they are like my feet or a favorite pair of shoes... i ride 5-7 days a week year round,in all types of colorado weather, and these puppys are the bomb. Woud be interesting to test them on a tour,but they arent built for that, but that's how much i love them. Just get a set, and your set for your adventre of following your bliss,on any road,any time,anyhow! I am totally satisfied and content eith these babies! Any questons?? Come find me on any road i'm on,we'll talk.... enjoy today!!

My wife will not use any tire other than the Continental Gatorskin. The tires easily last 3,000 miles and she has not had a flat tire in close to 10,000 miles with multiple Gatorskins. I have been riding the Continental 4000 with great success, but have had at least 5 flats with approximately the same mileage and rising conditions. I will probably switch to the Gatorskins for next years touring.

I have used them for a number of years and have only had 2 flats.

Not too difficult to put on. Happy with the quality thus far.

I bought a pair of the Gatorskins (700x32) for my Surly Crosscheck. I rode them for over 5500 miles including on some pretty rough roads between cities and through out New York City. I only changed them because I figured I wanted to be sure. I probably could have gotten another 1000 miles. I had one flat, but that was from a big wood crew on a direct hit outside of Baltimore. It would have flatted a car tire. Patched tube and rode another 1500 miles before new tires. They're great and worth every penny. They ride hard and smooth and the peace of mind you have no matter what the conditions is superb.

Gator skins are very reliable and the best bang for your money

Have not yet had a chance to put a lot of miles on these tires, but so far I like them. They roll pretty easily, and give a smoother ride than my old tires. No flats yet, but then again, I've only put a couple hundred miles on them. Bike Tires Direct had a good price for them , and they were delivered quickly.

Easy to mount. Rides well. Cannot comment on mileage or flat resistance since the tires have been in service for only two months.
