Review by Desert DogOverall this product is usually reliable and trustworthy to use.by Desert DogCycling EnthusiastRio Verde AZ3 of 4 customers found this review helpful.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.

Review by PDX56Black in style!by PDX56Cycling EnthusiastPortland, OR3 of 5 customers found this review helpful.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.

Review by PVasiliouOld dependable with an all-black appearanceby PVasiliouCycling EnthusiastVentura County, CA2 of 2 customers found this review helpful.I've been using 25mm tires FOR EVER!!!! (over 20 years); love them. Switched to Conti Gatorskins back in 2008 or 2009. Lots of mileage, very few flats (a handful in all these years), decent ride (combination of compliance and traction), and when they're on sale (like these were), I buy a pair.

Review by D.PenfieldAlmost bullet proof by D.PenfieldCycling EnthusiastPort Angeles, Washington6 of 7 customers found this review helpful.I've been riding Gatorskins for about 5 years now. They are my "go to" tire. Let me say, I don't race. These are the best tires for daily riding, group rides and touring! I generally ride 4 days a week, 25 to 60 miles. I hate flats! While they do weigh a bit more the light weight tires, i'll take that any day or getting a flat! In our area we have a lot of "chip seal" roads and other road debris especially during and just after winter, these take it all in stride! Most riders in our group are using these as well! They are tough to put on.

Review by G JGood all around tireby G Jso calBeen riding these for years, moved to 28mm size for more comfortable feel. A bit heavy but good puncture resistance and sturdy, lasting tread, a very good tire.

Review by J scottVery Nice Tires!by J scottne portland oregonIt has gotten increasingly difficult to purchase the necessities for bicycling on the fly in the moment.
That's where bikeworks came in. A few simple clicks later, I was able to collect my purchases in a safe manner. Not only were these tires in a deep discount, they were also ready for me in short time.
Thank you bikeworks. I'll be seeing you again soon!

Review by AnonymousMy forever tire!by AnonymousCycling EnthusiastMilton, FLI have been using these tires since 2004 and I have been very pleased with their durability and puncture resistance. I always carry a spare tube, patches and a pump. I typically get 5000 + miles on the rear tire and much more on the front and only rarely need to fix a flat. By rarely , I mean maybe every couple of years.

Review by JDBulletproof Tiresby JDSeattle 2 of 2 customers found this review helpful....but with the durability comes weight. Most times riding in the cascade foothills Ill take that trade every day, riding over glass and general roadside debris. There are days when Id like a lighter tire for climbing, but not often. Black edition looks pretty sweet.
