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

Great tires for the city, they are light and tough.

Used for road riding. Tire rolls nicely and flats are rare. Very durable.

My son and I both use this tire because we want a tire that is durable and this tire serves that purpose.

Whenever I do a trail tour, I put on my skins and have never punctured.

I often find myself riding on good and not so good roads. The Continental Gatorskin is my go to tire for distance riding and training on crummy roads and has not let me down yet. At sale pricing this tire is a steal and highly recommended.

I bought the folding version, on sale. Very easy to mount. Got them on without tire levers. Nice.

Only 200 miles on them, and no flats or complaints.

I've had several different brands of tires including Hutchinson, Vittoria, and Vredestein. The Gatorskins are not quite as supple or grippy as the Vittorias but they have been basically bulletproof in almost 5,000 miles. (two pairs). Would not pay retail price but great value when on sale!

Last tires had a bubble and I had 2 pictures. I have confidence in the Gatotskins!

Road touring very dependable.

I live in Mass where road maintenance is an afterthought. There's a ton of salt dumped on each road every week. The hills are big for me as well. I like to ride smooth, lite weight Michelins but I was getting a flat multiple time per week. I have moved over to the Gatorskins for my training wheels. Their size makes them a bit more comfortable. Not sure how they corner under speed because of the salt, I haven't been pushing hard in the corners. But so far they have accomplished their primary function of not giving me flats.

Is this my favorite tire? No. But given the miles I ride and the roads, this is a very good tire for the price (on sale). As far as rolling resistance, nothing beats the Michelin Pro but the Continental is a more durable tire and since I do not want to change tires on the side of the road very often, this is my preferred tire. It's not easy to get on the wheel but since it is very durable, you don't have to worry about that too much. I ride between 1500 and 2000 miles on a set before I change them. When the top is flat, time to change.

After two rides across the USA I find the Gatorskins are the best at preventing sidewall blowouts and flats.

Nothing but good service and merchandise. Will use for future buys. 3284 miles last year and kept old tires as backups in between flat rotations. Key to no flats is watch the road. Gator Skins are my tire of choice for the blacktop.

Using gatorskins for over 6 years, never have a reason to complain about them, folders and wire bead are interchangeable for me. Expect a fight when you put them on new...

Love this tire for its toughness just wish they were a little easier to get on and off

The skins are dependable to keep you rolling and avoiding routine flats on training rides.

Great traction even on wet roads and very very good flat protection. Also provides a nice smooth ride that handles curves and turns well.

For daily rides and even when commuting to work. Durable rarely get punctures

One of the best overall rode tires! Very durable quality

These are the first Gatorskin tires I've used. Previous tires were the Grand Prix 4000 SII's. So far I love the Gatorskin. We have horrible , debris -lined roasts here in Mobile and I haven't had a flat yet. Great price too.
