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

They are a bear to get onto Fulcrum rims the first two or three times. After that, not too bad. Hoping to get a lot of miles out of these.

What else do you need to know? You put them on and ride 2500 miles on them then buy another set. Simple!

This is the third set of Gatorskins. Great value and reliability

Product ordering was efficient and delivery was quick.

The Gator Skin tires has proven to be very strong in resisting road damage. Have been riding current set for three years.

less chances of getting flats. Great ride with a better wear rate. Thousands of miles on Continental gatorskin tires I will buy these until a better tire comes along. That may be a long time

Excellent durability and value

I ride about 180 miles a week and go through about two tires a year.

Have not got to try them out yet but so far I cant complain and with free shipping you cant complain!

500 care free miles on both tires

Work great on my road bikes. Not a lot of flats.

Durable, reliable

This is one of only two brands of tires I will ever use!

Commuting

This is my tire of choice and I usually get 4-5K on these tires (in the East). I road my bike cross country this summer with the gatorshins and the chip seal that they uee on the roads in the West wore my rear gatorskin down to the threads at about 1800 miles.

There were about 40 riders on the trip and I can tell you that I did not see any tire that did much better. In fact when a rider's tire wore out - they put on a gatorskin as the replacement tire.

I now have about 5K on the front tire (a gatorskin) and about 3K on new rear tire that replacement. As I am back in the East where the roads are smoother - these tires should hold up.

These tires go one easy, hold the road and wear well.

The tires I replaced came with the trek madone, bontrager's r-2. They are pure junk and replacing them with the gatorskins proved how great a tire they are. The ride has improved tremendously in both inspiring confidence and comfort. I had the skins on an older bike I sold and missed their performance so on they went and I enjoy riding much more because of them.

I use these tires for my commuting bike. I don't try to ride through glass and the like, but I still do it several times a week. Before I started using the gator hardshell and then the gatorskins I got really good at changing my tubes, now I'm very much out of practice and loving it!

PS I found putting the gatorskins on to be quick and easy.

'nough said!

I wanted a tire that would hold up to the abuse of training on sub-standard pavement with the occasional dirt/gravel road detour and the Gatorskin trumps all others. Found myself getting a little too cocky and they performed flawlessly. I purxhased the 25c size and was able run a little bit lower tire pressure for a more supple ride. Win-win for me. Great value for a quality product. Highly recommend. Thanks.
