Great reliable tire - fast and no flats!

Using as fast rolling tires on my gravel bike when I'm doing road rides. They feel very fast and yet sturdy and I have had no flats yet. Would recommend.

Thank you for your feedback.

The coolest looking Gatorskins!!!

I've used Gatorskins for years, and get very few flats. These are the same great tire with a slick black appearance on the sidewall. And I got them on Sale for only $31.99!!!! Wowzers.

Thank you for your feedback.

Tires look great and are exactly what I needed for my wheels.

I use the black gator skins on my main set of training wheels because I use those wheels most of the time and I need a great set of tires that will withstand a lot of miles.

Thank you for your feedback.

The shrapnel arsenal necessity

I was using another brand that claimed they were bulletproof, but after 3 flats in a week I'd had enough. Tried out the black edition gatorskins and not only did they give me confidence, but they look great on my bike. Tough as nails

Thank you for your feedback.

Old reliable

The Gatorskin has been my go-to for as long as I can remember. Defeats the road rubble like no other, with performance attributes for every weather condition, and the capabilities of most riders, with the possible exception serious racers.

Thank you for your feedback.

A reliably great tire.

I don't have any controlled scientific studies to support my opinion. But, over the years I've found these tires to be sturdy with very good grip in the rain. I even take them on gravel sometimes. I very, very rarely flat (I hope I didn't jinx anything). Due to frame limitations, I run 700x25.

Thank you for your feedback.

Overall this product is usually reliable and trustworthy to use.

Basically this tire performs well to prevent road type issues. Wears well, only challange is they are tight and difficult to put on rims on the road. The same thing that makes them wear well.

Thank you for your feedback.
