Great tire for commuting in the city

I commute by bike 5 days a week around 18 miles per day. I ride in all kinds of conditions, so it's important to have a tire I don't have to think about.

These tires have always been bomb proof for me. I don't think I've ever had a flat while riding them. I have a set on my road bike(s) too.

BTD makes ordering simple, deliver is fast and the price is always good. Easy and convenient.

Thank you for your feedback.

Good quality tire

Great tires for riding and keeping you going from normal road debris. On a new tire I can easily go 500-700 miles with a flat. If you hit a nail or heavy duty staple just right, the metal will win usually.

Thank you for your feedback.

Great Club Tire

Perfect tire for weekend club rides. Good traction, smooth riding, and after 500 miles, puncture free. Couldn't ask for more.

Thank you for your feedback.

Solid tire

Easy to mount. Rides well. Cannot comment on mileage or flat resistance since the tires have been in service for only two months.

Thank you for your feedback.

Long lasting

The tires arent puncture proof, but one can certainly can go over some rough stuff without fear of a blowout. I like their long wear ability and smooth ride.

Thank you for your feedback.

Good commuter or training tire

The streets in my area are full of potholes and often broken glass. These tires hold up well.

Gatorskins are great

Im still relatively new to road biking but when I replaced my old tires with Continental Gatorskins I noticed a big difference. It feels like I just got more power and faster speeds and a much better ride.

Thank you for your feedback.

Best Puncture proof RoadGravel Tires on the Market

I use the tires for road and gravel rides. I have used them for over 8 years with only one flat and that was my fault as it was a pinch flat as I let too much air out for a gravel ride.

Thank you for your feedback.

Excellent tires.

I've bought and used 4 sets and average 4-6 thousand miles a set. Although price creeping up still would buy again.

dependable city tire

If you ride in a city, you can't go wrong with Gatorskins. I put in 50 miles a week, over 2500 miles a year through some gritty streets and rarely get a flat. They ride smooth and fast, with low roll resistance.

Thank you for your feedback.

I use these mostly for commuting. Almost never a flat and nice ride. The wire bead seems to be easier to mount and dismount than a folder.

Fast, flat resistant tires.

After two back to back flats while on a weekly group ride I decided to upgrade to these Continental Gatorskins. I have since ridden about 500 miles through glass and debris loaded streets without a problem.
