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

I am a distance cyclist and this tire is smooth riding and getting a puncture is rare. Very comfortable ride with this tire.

Great ride.

A medium size tire when on the road with a gravel bike that also protects against flats

I USE THIS TIRE FOR TOURING

i don't want to be stopped by flats - so i stick with Gatorskins. i can get 5,000 miles on them.

I have been riding these since a transcontinental ride 5 years ago. They greatly reduce the chance of puncture flats and the last nearly forever.

They're tires. They work. We're on a tandem, so flat resistance and decent ride are important to us. Weight doesn't matter.

These tires are tough! One of the most puncture proof tires I've had.

I had be rolling spicialized espoir elite tires...then I stepped up and payed a few more dollars for these Gatorskins I'm sold....these Gatorskins are awesome .....great all around tire!

I ride in Chicago on streets and lakefront bike trail, good traction and roll. They handle curbs and bumps well. Would buy again...

I ride over 6000 miles per year. Gatorskins have out performed any other tire that I've used by many miles. I can get an entire season, 6000 miles on the rear tire, and probably close to 8000 on the front.

Even when I see that the rear tire gets that telltale flat edge, it still holds up for many miles.

What a change in the ride quality from a value line 23mm to a High quality 25mm. Far superior ride and the roll resistance was not effected. Softer ride feels a bit slower however reality is NOT.... Love these tires!!!

Absolutely a great tire, lasts for seasons, and plenty sticky on dry roads. Just be aware that with the hard durable rubber comes a loss of traction in wet conditions, especially the common metal grate bridges around the Alleghenies. You'll feel like you're on ice skates!

I've spent the last 12 plus years riding in Hawaii and Okinawa where the shoulders are shredded with broken beer bottles. I switched to Gatorskins to help reduce my flats and they worked better than expected. Before each ride I would pick glass particles out of the rubber and then ride my ride. For the most part I swithed the tires out not because of flats but due to wearing out the rubber tread. Do yourself a favor if you live in an area prone to flats, give these tires a try.

Going from value tires to these Continentals were such a big change in smoothness and vibration dampening and the 25's over the 23's was a huge improvement on fast descents and overall ride stability on rutted and suspect road conditions. Nice product and I do deserve the best I can get.

I am very impressed with the Continental Gatorskin. Bought a pair as replacements for worn out Bontrager tires. Thread count is much highter with the Gatorskins which thwarts flat tires. Ride is nice especially when cornering on wet roads.

Love these tires. My wife & I are training for a long charity ride. Part of the training is group rides frequently requiring riding on some pretty rough shoulders. No problems at all. Feel very confidant on these tires.

Put these tires on to ride around on the winter time roads here in the lovely pacific nw. Even with all of the gravel on the roads I have not not had a flat or ever lost traction. I love these tires.

I have tried lots of tires, but gatorskins consistently offer the best blend of durability and ride control. I use them on all of my bikes (road and commute).

One of those products that once you use it you're skeptical to switch to another. Proven durability and ride comfort.
