New tires flatted out.

Put new 700 25 front and rear for weeklong RAGBRAI. First the front went flat with micro piece of wire the problem. Then later in same day rear went flat and problem never found.

Have been gatorskin user for 5 yrs with no problems.

Advice to bikers make sure you can fix a flat don't get over confident.

Thank you for your feedback.

True as the name, these tires are tough to puncture

First off, I don't race so I don't care about weight or rolling resistance. I commute around the city and I tour every summer on a steel hybrid road bike with bomb proof rims and 28cc tires. I ONLY care about minimizing flats and in my experience these are the best tires for that.

I'm up to my third pair after cycling (pun intended) through different brands. I'd say each pair gets me 2 to 3,000 miles and I'm not even sure I always have to change them. They just look too weathered on the sidewalls at that point and the tread is noticeably diminished (though amazingly they never go bald or even close to it.)

I'm sure other tires are just as good. But after 3 sets and 7,500 miles of satisfaction, I'm happy not to think about it anymore

Thank you for your feedback.

Bombproof 4000km and counting

Amazing tires, highly recommended. The only time I have EVER flatted with these is when I had low tire pressure and I got a pinch flat through a construction zone.

I tried to put these on my CX bike tubeless with the wire bead version, I am hoping it will work with these.

Thank you for your feedback.

Continental Gatorskin are without questions one of the best options for most road bikes!

These tires are now on my Colnago X3 bike use on 40-100 mile rides 2-3 times a week. They roll awesome and tolerate most road issues we encounter.

Thank you for your feedback.

Perfect winter tires

Ordered these for my winter/city bike for the added puncture protection. These are perfect for filling that need.

Flatted on my first ride.

Title pretty much says it all. Bought two new Gatorskins. Put them on this morning and went for a 25 mile ride. The rear tire was going flat as I pulled into my driveway. I bought these to replace some aging Michelins so I guess I will put those back on.

Two flats in three days

I just finally put on the new tires two weeks ago. I already had two flats on the same tire. I must have a bad one.

Durable tire that is well worth the price

I bought this tire to replace the Continental Race tires I used regularly. Race tires would catch flats fairly often. Not so with the Gatorskins! No looking back-these tires last and take a beating without fail over a variety of surfaces-concrete, asphalt, tar and chip. Best example No issues over the Greater Allegheny Passage-an old railroad converted to bike trail between Cumberland Md and Pittsburgh Pa. Trail is a fine crushed limestone. No issues with the Gatorskins. They are a little heavier than some tires, but at least I'm not off my bike on the side of the road fixing a flat!

Thank you for your feedback.

Durable with a decent ride

I absolutely love these tires! I have been riding on these for several years now and won't train on anything else. Here on Wyoming's rural roads, chip sealed pavement and otherwise rough roads are the norm. with regular tires I can count on several flats a season. With these, maybe just one or two. They last me a few thousand miles. They aren't too heavy and the feel isn't bad.

Thank you for your feedback.

Great Gator Skin Tires 23C

Gator Skin Tires are tough tires, I have used nothing but Continental tires on my Cannondale Synapse Road Bike, Bought these tires that were on sale from BTD, and what an awesome deal! I will use these tires as my training tires because of the tough rubber on the tire, and for their resistance to flats!!!

Thank you for your feedback.
