ContinentalGator Hardshell 700c Road Tire (Folding)(Return to Product Page)

Have been running gator hardshell for years, however, the past tires were 23mm wide, wanted a wider tire, and this tire worked perfectly.

Changed to gator hard shells after a three week tour, the riders with tire had fewer flats than the rest of us using various brands.

I've been using this tire on my endurance 7 day bike rides for the past 5 years. Not one flat ever.

Have yet to get a flat with these. Granted not riding thru NYC or anything, but... One time, found a huge staple in the tread, pulled it out but it had not punctured the protective layers. My every day, go to tires when don't want to worry about stopping to change a flat! Very satisfied.

I used hardshell tires for the last five years. No complaints , very few flats, always got a season plus. Before replacing.

Great tires. Long wearing, puncture resistant , okay handling and an overall good value.

These are the most durable and puncture resistant road tires I've used thus far. Stout sidewalls that are not easily cut and excellent construction limit punctures tremendously.

Wanted some peace of mind from road hazards while training on our not so perfect highways. Tires roll great and ride well. Very satisfied with purchase.

These were on sale and a great deal as they are my favorite puncture resistant road bike tire I have found...

I have used this tire specifically for long distance multiple day rides. Not one flat on a 7 day ride with over 550 miles!

Ive used these a lot and have found them to be dependable and long lasting

No more flat tires since using Gator Hardshell tires. Had multiple flats previously due to the gravel the city spreads on the roads during winter. They are easy to mount if you know the proper technique.

I have used Gatorskins for years and put thousands of miles on them. I trust them, they roll well and wear reasonably well. Most of the miles are riding a road tandem which puts a lot of weight on the rear wheel. We've had one puncture and that was in the rain which allowed the debris to adhere to the tire.

I use these for winter commuting, as I particularly don't want to have to fix a flat in 15 degree weather. They are great- good traction, great flat resistance. Hard to mount as the sidewalls are so strong, but with any luck you'll never have to do that on the road. I haven't!

Everyone knows gators are the go to tire. Theyll ride through glass and still be fine more often than not. They ride well and pretty fast. I road them when I only road fixed and they lasted over 500 miles in full skid mode. Even last a bit on the threads.

These Gatorskin Hardshells are awesome! Riding here on the Texas roads can be pretty brutal on tires, and since I have put these on my steed I have had no worries! Awesome tires!

I bike to work every day and these tires provide extremely good puncture resistance. They are a little hard and heavy, so I wouldn't recommend then for racing.

Folding makes them easy to carry home. They go on and stay on. The dimples tell you when it's time for new rubber. Flats are rare to never. They feel great on the road. I've mostly ridden them on my track bike around the city and they last longer than any other tire I've tried. They corner well. Sometimes a bit challenging to take off.

These are some of the best tires on the market. They roll smooth and quiet. The only negative is that I had a lot of difficulty getting tire on rim.

Great puncture protection and amazing durability. I usually get about 6K miles per set in the Arizona heat.

One set of tires has run over 2 years commuting every single day all year round on glass ridden and who knows what else Portland bridges and downtown streets without a single flat. Luck, maybe? But I'll attribute it to the tire. Running 25mm.
