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

Great quality and feel on your ride

I use it now for year round commuting on a fixie and I've used it in the past for training on a road bike.

I have no issues with this tire. They track well on all road surface types and grip the road well. Earlier this year I was caught in a rain storm (two inches in one hour) they held their grip on the road until I could find shelter.

This tire gives me confidence for long training rides where I am more concerned about endurance over speed.

I just bought these tires which are the best CP VALUES YOU CAN HAVE AND LAST LONGER AND FLAT FREE.

I use this tires most of the year for training and touring

I have over 3,000 miles on my last set of Gatorskins and as the wear dimples are almost gone, it was time to order another pair. First set of road tires that I have not experience any flats with where others have failed. I think they provide a good ride quality (though no the best) and are reasonably light weight (though not the lightest). However, as I don't race I value a trouble free ride where I may be 20 to 30 miles away from my starting point more than a few grams.

So far no punctures and they stick to the road in wet and dry conditions

On my bike.....

I just rode Tour de Blast, people were flatting left and right. I spoke with folks who suffered two and three flats on the ride. I couldn't find even a nick in my gatorskin.

Almost flat proof. Best tires Ive owned.

I have used these tires for the last couple of years with good results. Until now. My last set had about 2k miles on them and were starting to show wear so I changed them. Got a flat the next week, I don't know what I hit but it put a gash at the top of the sidewall. So I changed that tire after a week. Two weeks after I changed tires, I got another puncture, this one right through the center of the tire. I am no longer using this tire.

eat your spinach before installing

Good everyday tire, lucky to have never had a flat with these!

Have started using gator skins about 7 years ago and never looked back. Since using them on San Francisco and Bay Area roads they have weathered the street debris and other road issues better than most other tires. It's important to use good inner tubes because the cheep inner tubes fail long before the tires need to be replaced. Buy again? You bet!

I am not a pro, but these tires seem to be very resilient and great riding tires. They are somewhat difficult for an amateur to install, but he many videos on the subject will allow you to finish. They are much quieter than my previous OEM tires.

Gatorskins are heavy duty and near-bullet proof. A bit on the heavy side, but if you want a good training tire that will last till the Second Coming, this is the tire! Good product at a good price. Western Bike Works was the best in ordering and shipping.... I was amazed how fast I got the shipment.

No flats since I bought these. Air does not leak out of the tubes even over long periods of time.

Riding on the roads. The tire is reliable and durable. Because I ride on the many rough roads in Northeast Ohio, I find Gatorskins are a necessity. No problems (or flats) while riding on these tires. I highly recommend them.

Don't get flats.
