Excellent winter riding tires. Good for the commute to work and home. Not afraid of being stuck on the road due to a flat.

My wife has been using this road tire for 5 months and no flats to date. If you ride a lot of miles then this tire may be for you, tough, durable, and a comfortable ride.

Use Gatorskins for training and fitness. Like the looks and the durability.
Review by Erik
I bought these for my commuter bike. After close to 2000 miles over two years, they still look almost brand new and I have yet to (knock on wood) have a puncture. These tires are light, smooth rolling, and most importantly, very tough. I have taken them on city streets, hard pack gravel, and dirt trails, and they work great.

I just retired my rear wheel's 700 x 25 Folding Gatorskin after 5700 miles. I'm 6'3 and weigh 230. I ride suburban and county road club rides in temperatures as low as 10 and as high as 95 at rolling speeds from 14 to 21 . I inflate to 110 psi before every ride. I've been very pleased with the comfort, grip, and durability of Gatorskin tires.

I use this tire for my all rounder because it is tough especially with someone over200 lbs! I get 2-3k out of each tire. I use them on all my day to day bikes including my Tandem. They are some tough tires!

Use on all my road bikes. Rolls great and puncture resistant.

I bought these to replace a pair of beaded gator skins. I wanted more flat protection without adding weight. After 6 months I have been very happy. Only one flat from a packing staple though I have pull chunks of glass out of them a few times with no flats. They were easy to mount despite not having a wire bead. I will buy these again.

Great price, quality product.
Review by not-fishing
It seems like I should be buying these tires by the dozen because I'm putting on my son's and my bikes. With the new testing for rolling drag it's clearly evident for us fast-recreational riders that bigger is better especially when you're a Clydesdale in your old age. Still some of us never break 190 lbs even when fit and need bigger tires.

Provides great protection against flats, rolls well and wares well. Been using them for years and have not found a better all around tire.
Review by TONY
These tires are the best ,less flats and more riding. I may be wrong but that is what it's all about. T.O.

My go to training tire. Long wearing and good road adhesion.
Review by Jeppymon
I've tried many tires and this is the best. Have been using Gator skins for years and have had great experiences. In last six or seven years only had one flat and it was my fault. Ran them all year , once even to the cores. Get great wear out of them. Wish they made them tubeless.

I keep getting the Gatorskins. They're fanstastically durable and best of all they're a smooth riding tire. I'm very happy with them. I've been riding for 30 years and have always used them after trying others.
Review by MC
I bought these thinking they would be more resistant to flats than the bontrager hardcase lites ive been riding. Holy sh*t was I wrong. Ive already had 3 flats in less than 100 miles. Very disappointed in this product.

I tried many tires but come back to the Gatorskin all the time. I can easily ride several thousand miles on them without any problems. During the summer the road surface is very hot most of the time in my area, and the tires can handle this without a problem. These tires also seem to be very puncture resistance, even when you use them maybe a little to long.

When I moved to Colorado in 2007 I would join in on group rides and I was always getting flat! Lots of goat heads out here. I switched out my tires soon after to gator skins and it's 14 years now without a Flat. Don't be that person that's always stopping the ride with a flat.

Where I live the pavement is often bumpy, cracked, and not always well - maintained. Additionally, many of the paved routes I ride include gravel sections. I've used Gatorskin tires for the past few years, and I have never gotten a flat. I feel comfortable tackling the occasional gravel stretch with these tires. They also last a very long time. They may not be the fastest tire around, but I'll take durability over speed for where I live!
