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

I have been using this tire for 3 years now and will never pick another tire for all around riding.

These are my 3rd set and I love em. I've had two or three flats over the years due to tire wire but over all they last 3000 miles on the rear and the flats are due to some junky roads I travel. Do about 100 miles a week and love the handling and durability. Pricey, but I bought them on sale. Worth the price either way.

I started using Gator Skin tires for Eroica with my vintage road bike. This tire proved itself on and off road (light gravel) in this ride. Since then I use Gator Skins on all my road bikes. All around its the best tire Ive used.

Puncture resistance is exceptional. Haven't had to fix a flat all year. Great tire and I have no complaints.

The deal was so good on these tires, I bought 4 tires. Started buying these tires about 6 years ago and they are still the only tire I buy. I typically have to put on new tires at 3000 - 3500 miles.

Been using Gator Skins for awhile. Handles the canyons and plains of northern CO. Durable even on gravel roads.

I used to ride on Conti GP 4000 II tires, and I got a number of punctures, as the roads in Phoenix, AZ are full of little rocks, that cut the sidewalls of the tires, although they have very good protection on the rolling band. With the Gatorskins, I have not had a puncture since I switched about 4 months ago. Great tires!

Good road feel. Great longevity.

This is the only tire I use for training and long distance races. Have never had one fail during a long ride. I usually get 3-5k miles out of them. Sidewalls will fray over time, and will not stand up to a rock or glass jamming into them, I've experienced both, each time a dollar bill or a plastic sidewall saver insert got me home. Its the only tire I recommend to new bikers...

I've been using Gatorskins for the past 4 years of cycling and long course triathlons. I did stray briefly with other highly rated tires but I'm back to Gatorskins. I'm happy to trade a few ounces for the flat protection. Some of my training routes are on roads with debris and goat's head thorns. I ride with little worry when I'm on my Gatorskins. And I get the best price on BikeTiresDirect.

Best Training Tires available - Durable and long-lasting

Wonderful tire induces debris on the road from winter.. The tire is a little stiff and a little hard to put on the wheel at first but its a great tire .

Ride 4,000 miles without flats. If your looking for smooth or fast, get something else.

Puncture resistant, perfect for long training sessions.

We use this tire on our Tandem. It rides and handles well as well as durable. Have reached speeds of over 50mph and it is very secure on the road.

Great tire. Very durable.

I ride in in an urban area and need a tire that can put with road debris without getting a flat and the Gatorskin

is holding up well with no flats after several hundred miles.

Very durable tires, they handle great on all conditions. Can't remember the last time I got a flat tire.

These tires are great for my road bike. Having ridden a good number of miles, the give me a great sense of security and safety. They supplement my Trek Domane 5.9. Found out, if inflated just a little less than recommended (5 psi), they perform even better.

I have been riding for 50 years and can be particular about bike performance. I ride a couple times a week for fitness. I like the puncture resistance of the Gatorskin and the ride and handling are plenty good for my needs.
