ContinentalGatorskin 700c Road Tire (Folding)(Return to Product Page)

I live near a road that is been deemed "Shrapnel Alley" on Strava these tires get me through there hundreds of times a year without flats. And when I've had a flat the amount of discarded debris is beyond the normal amount and would send cars to the tire shop.

The Gatorskin is my 'goto' tire for my road bike. I ride through some rough roads and occasional trails on these and they perform well. They last about two thousand plus miles, so a very hardy tire.

I use it for training and racing in though terrain

I use the tire in my commuting bike. Feel confident that I can get to work and get home without a fat.

Bought 28cc tire as a replacement to my original 23cc tires. Have about 400 miles on the new tires and they seem to be functioning ning well. No cuts or flats in the tread. Smoother ride and were easy to install. Look forward to putting on many more care free miles.

It snowediced in Portland this year which was incredibly annoying and made road conditions strange. Totally devastated my cheaper tires, cool until now, in the gritty aftermath.

After a few $20 replacements I got hip to the fact that Gatorskins would shoulder these conditions and I'm happy to report I've been flat-free for an entire season.

I'll give you 5 stars for now but if I recently bust please know I'll write a fresh review and excessively whine. Until then.

Just a great all around tire. Less puncture resistant than other Continental tires. There is some added weight but well worth it especially in the winter with all the cinders and salt on the ground.

I ride year-round, seven days a week. Conti Gatorskins are my go-to tire for reliability.

Good tires, easy to install

I live in New Mexico and we have tons of goat head stickers. I use the tire on my road bike and the puncture resistance is amazing. However, the side wall will puncture if you happen to roll over something sharp. I've used these tires for 10+ years.

Although Gatorskins are heavier, there durability outweighs the weight. Eat less to compensate for the extra weight.

Tires grip nicely. I go down hills fast, and want the extra assurance I won't have a blow out. Wish they had other colors available for an accent stripe matching bicycle color. One tire had a little wobble to it, and Western replaced it, no questions asked. Think that is a rarity. Manufacturing standard looks good. I got 28mm width. Love the extra size vs. the standard 23mm I was running previously.

For riding my 623 Jamis Nova in urban areas, I find these tire to the best for puncture resistance. Yes, they are a bit heavy, but it's a good trade off. Best tire made by Continental.

We live in One of Californias three fastest-growing towns. The result is constant detritus on our streets, no matter how the city and the builders try to keep them clean. I have found Continentals amazingly puncture rsistant and durable. Unless I hit a discarded, unbent staple from construction, they just keep on going. I havent purchased any other brand for quite a while now.

I have been riding on these tires for years. High quality at a reasonable price. Very durable tire. I can put 1200 miles on them before having to change a tube.

I live in Arizona and the roads have thorns and small rocks that cause flat tires all the time. Ive switched to these great tires along with thorn resistant tubes and I rarely have a flat. I highly recommend this product.

I installed tires to my BMC road bike they are great for puncher protection and last me for one Texas season which is 12 months.

I had heard good things about these tires and am glad I purchased this set

I put a set of these on an older training bike because I wanted the most comfortable and durable tire I could find. They went on easily enough and have proven to be just right for my needs.
