ContinentalGatorskin 700c Road Tire (Wire Bead)(Return to Product Page)

Used for paved trail riding during Fall season with lots of debris on the trail. Riding with confidence on these tires.

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.

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

I put these tires on my 'cross bike and they roll really well and I'm sure they will be durable!

I have found this tire to be very good and durable.

Been riding Gatorskins for years in Austin. Got 2.5 years of 100 miles per week from my last set. Maybe two flats per year. Smooth rolling, durable, reliable.

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

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.

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.

good grip,cusion nice,don't forget to put a liner in any tire you buy

Three years...one flat.

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.

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.

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.

Great winter training tires and always dependable backups the rest of the year.

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.

Few flat tires

Second set of Gatorskin tires.....very solid tires, fewer flats than previous tires over fairly rough roads in the Midwest

They are a bear to get onto Fulcrum rims the first two or three times. After that, not too bad. Hoping to get a lot of miles out of these.

What else do you need to know? You put them on and ride 2500 miles on them then buy another set. Simple!
