Very good flat resistant tire

I like this tire as I ride a lot and I don't like flats. I flat only about once per month with about 1000km per month of riding. I used to get far more and I didn't like repairing flats at 5:30 am on the way to work.

Thank you for your feedback.

A great tire for everyday use and in two years I have never had a puncture

This is a very good tire for daily riding - puncture resistant and rides well.

Thank you for your feedback.

I've gotten two flats in 3 weeks. Is that more than expected?

Heard they were good, two flats in two weeks though.

Hi,

Thanks for your review! How many flats you get will depend on a lot of factors -- road quality, debris, the pressure you're running, and so on. That said, these are probably the number one tire we recommend to customers who want great flat resistance without sacrificing a quick, responsive ride. I'd suggest that you double-check your rim tape and tube to eliminate any other causes of the flats, and examine the tires themselves for defects. If you think you might have defective tires, don't hesitate to get in touch with us at [email protected].

Thanks,
Stacia

Good value tires!

I've been using Continental Gatorskins for the past year. They wear well, resist flats and are fairly easy to mount. So far I've had no troubles with them.

Thank you for your feedback.

Great tires

less chances of getting flats. Great ride with a better wear rate. Thousands of miles on Continental gatorskin tires I will buy these until a better tire comes along. That may be a long time

Thank you for your feedback.

Love my GATORSKINS!

This is my second set of Gatorskins and feel they are the best tire and value for my needs. When the weather and roads are clear in the Denver area, I usually get in a 35 - 50 mile ride once a week.

Thank you for your feedback.

I like this tire so much, I trust it on Tucson El Tour day. Nov 22 13 is a cycling holiday in Tucson.

This is a eazy rolling tire that has stood up to road hazards. I rode the last 5000 miles on this tire and no flats.

What I don't like about it nothing.

Every November I install a new set on my bike for Tucson's 100 mile race. Never had a flat on race day, or any other day.

Thank you for your feedback.

Great mileage and puncture resistant tire

I've used Continental Gatorskin tires exclusively for the last four years while logging in 10,000 miles per year. Tire mileage has been great (3000 on rear, 5000 on front) and they have excellent resistance to punctures.

Thank you for your feedback.

True to the advertisement, virtually indestructible!

For the last two years, I have used nothing but Continental Gatorskin tyres on my 1987 Trek (Touring)700 x 25 for summer and century riding, 700 x 32 for winter and touring. On the journey last year from Rochester, NY to Portsmouth, NH ... not one flat and excellent stability, rolling, ... everything. Used with the white stuff inside the tube, they are indeed nearly indestructible.

Thank you for your feedback.

Few 1000 miles per tire without flats.

I use this tire during my entire training season. Little heavy so a better workout. I am not changing flats because flats are rare and I also am not buying new tires throughout the season because of flats and blowouts.

Thank you for your feedback.
