ContinentalGatorskin Black Edition 700c Road Tire(Return to Product Page)

They go until the cuts get too deep which I think is longer than most in my experience.

These tires were not hard to put on and they ride nice even in the rain.

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.

Only have 1000 miles on the them but 1,they were easy to install

2, they look good

3, they ride smooth and silent

Great tire w a cooler look.

Excellent clinchers in terms of durability, traction and price. Luv 'em

very puncture resistant low resistance road tire great product

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.

My first time riding this tire feels nice and smooth. Will buy again

Great price and love the look of the black edition.

Solid tires with good looks

Ive been riding for 30 years and I wouldnt ride anything different than Continental Gators skins

Love my new tires! So far so good! But you need strong hands to get them on...

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.

I usually try to ride on Continentals for my road bike. I like the look of the blacks and had to replace my usual Gatorskins due to the tire was worn down flat on the riding surface. I was going to change it after my ride anyway and had a rear spontaneous sidewall blow out for the first time with Gatorskins. I have had tire chunks disappear on top of a Conti before noticed after a ride too. I purchased these to go with my replacement after the blowout. I feel they are smooth and hold in the corners with speed. I also like how they look an it's about confidence in the product. So far so good!

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.

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

Got a great price for tires and I always start the season with on my road bikes. I love the all black without the orange trim. I've only had one of the Gatorskins had a chunk taken out of it while riding. I was able to fill it with neoprene rubber and use it on my trainer and that's what I do when the tire starts to flatten out. Tough tires for me. I feel more confident in the Gatorskins as opposed to Gran Prix 5000 tires since I've seen a few blow out during an IM. I use to train and do Tri's and now it's for exercise, fun, and just to get out and away.

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.

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.
