ContinentalGatorskin 700c Road Tire (Wire Bead)(Return to Product Page)

I swithched to Continental Gatorskin tires and my mileage almost doubled. I have been getting around 7,000 miles on the front tire and over 4,000 miles on the back tire. The roads I ride on are mostly sealcoated, so they are very abrasive on the tires. I do not have one complaint about the performance of the tires. The only thing would be they are hard to install on the rim. Some people have no problem installing them, they have more power in their hands.

I USE THIS TIRE FOR TOURING

Second set of these I've purchased. Rode 3-4k miles on the first pair without a flat.

I think the last one I had at least 3000 miles on it.

I commute and ride for exercise, tire is so dependable and flat resistant. I love it!

Like everything about these tires. Know about how many miles they will last.

Have had great results and life from the continental gatorskins. Work well on country road touring and in and around town. For the price, an excellent buy.

i don't want to be stopped by flats - so i stick with Gatorskins. i can get 5,000 miles on them.

Can be a bit tougher to get on but is a great commuter tire where flats wont be a concern. Have tried similar products from other manufacturers and always go back to the gatorskin

I have been riding these since a transcontinental ride 5 years ago. They greatly reduce the chance of puncture flats and the last nearly forever.

I ride everyday, no flats, no dislikes with these tires.

I am a distance cyclist, 250 - 300 mpw12000py. These tires wear well, cut resistant and excellent for not having flats. Usually do 110 miles on Sat. Rest of the week is between 25 miles M thru F and 65 miles on Sun.

Not the lightest but these tires are really durable. They're easy to get off and on the rims - extra important when it's wet and cold. I've had good luck with not getting flats (knock on wood).

I ride in the desert and used to get lots of flats these tires eliminated that!

Great price, Great service, Great tires

I ride a Trek 2120 for touring. Most recent trip was Indianapolis to Cleveland, OH, 5 days, 350 miles, carrying gear and credit card camping. I've used these tires for years and have always been satisfied with the ride. I recommend these tires for both day to day riding as well as longer rides.

If you're looking for a reasonably priced tire that will wear well, this is it.

I had a set of Gatorskins that lasted ell over a year and a half with with an average of 15 miles per day. I now run them on both of my bikes.

Excellent tire for long distance touring. Hold up well and give me many miles of cycling. Ride 1000 miles and year with no problems with the tire. I ride with a group of senior men and we all have the same tire.

This is one tough tire. The only failure has been the tube stem, not the tire.
