Great Tires

On my second or third pair. These are tough tires. I ride 40 miles a day on city streets and hardly ever find glass in these tires.

Thank you for your feedback.

I've been using Continental Gator skins for many years now. They have served me well

I've been using Gator skins on my tandem with very good success. I prefer the wire bead for easier tire changing. I bought some foldable tires to go in the bag for spares.

Thank you for your feedback.

Damn good tires

Been through a lot of tires and these are by far the best I've purchased. I've had them on for over four months now and have put them through the ringer and haven't had one flat yet. Super responsive on leaning turns.

Thank you for your feedback.

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.

Good solid tire, great price!

Went with a tire with red sidewalls but the they had bad cracking and needed to be replaced after one season. I went back to old faithful & am very happy with my Gatorskins!

Thank you for your feedback.

The best tires for my application.

I have used Conn Gatorskins for 25 years, thousands of miles. They are the best for commuting and general road riding.

Great tire

I use it on a Fuji Road. Handles well and resists most road hazards.Like everything else they have gotten expensive, if you don't buy when they are on sale.

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.

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.

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.
