GATORSKINS ARE THE BEST

I normally ride around 125 miles per week through different parts of San Diego County. I have used Gatorskin tires for at least 15 years, and have found them to be the best for reliability and wear. I always have a couple of spare tires on hand to replace older, worn out or severely damaged tires when necessary.

I would recommend, in a heartbeat, Gatorskin road tires for reliable, dependable road bike tires.

Thank you for your feedback.

Great tires!

Excellent tires, great deal, The improvement over the tires I replaced was immediate. I ride New York City streets almost daily and the tires hold up really well on rough surfaces. traction is excellent and without undue drag like the tires I replaced. The improvement in handling is huge. I can make hard and fast turns with confidence now.

I'm installing the second set on my triathlon bike.

Thank you for your feedback.

Durable trouble free tires I have used for 10 years, now available in Blackwalls!

I used Gatorskins on my tandems for 10 yrs.+ riding 6-9,000 miles a year with never a blowout. Yes I have 2-3flats

per year. This kind of durability gives you the confidence to ride far from home, up and down major hills,

Thank you for your feedback.

Durable, Smooth Riding Tire

I switched from 25s to these 700x28s. Significantly smoother ride from tires I have long used for their durability and puncture resistance.

Thank you for your feedback.

How NOT to get a flat

These are amazing tires-virtually puncture proof. These tires make such a difference-no flats, ride well and therefore, make my rides worry free.

Thank you for your feedback.

Seems to roll with a bit less resistance than the Gatorskin Hardshell

This is the first Gatorskin Black Edition I have purchased. I normally get 9,000 miles a year out of my Continental Hardshell's and I believe I will get the same out of the Black Edition.

Thank you for your feedback.

Nice tires

I rode them 2600 miles this year and only got one flat at the end of the season which is pretty good considering sharing the road with metal recycling trucks.

Thank you for your feedback.

I highly recommend these tires. They we recommended to me by a friend who rode a lot. He swore by them so I thought I'd give them a try. I've had them on my road bike ever since.

These tires ride extremely well, and provide good traction under a variety of weather conditions. They are very durable. I have not had a flat since I started using these.

Thank you for your feedback.
