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

I use 28c gatorskins on dirt road centurys...they hold up great!

I was looking for a durable tire and these fit the bill and wallet. Of course, they are not light, but i don't them excessively HEAVY. Easy to install and abppear to be durab,e

I put these tires on all of my commuter bikes as well as some of my weekend bikes. The feel of the road and handling rivals many tires that cost much more but these also have the added benefit of being pretty darn resistant to flat tires.

Been using the Gatorskins for several seasons now and I still love them. Great flat protection and I get at least 3000 miles out of them, depending on how many dirt miles I put on them. I've only ever gotten a couple flats while using these and they were all after the tire had been nearing the end of it's lifespan.

Great tires! I wouldn't go with anything else!

Great balance with light weight and puncture proof

At 6' 4 and 200 lbs, I want a tough tire on my bikes. The Conti Gatorskins have been my preference for years. Rarely do I have a flat and generally get 3000 miles per tire. I use the 700 X 28. For trouble free riding, give them a try.

I really like these tires for everyday use. I train on them and have them on two different sets of wheels. A great tire...My original set are 25X700, on the same set of wheels for three seasons now... Use them in the early spring and have not had one flat with them...

I've had really good success using these tires. I have them on both of my bikes and wouldn't use any thing else.

They handle great, even on wet pavement and are very flat resistant.

I am a larger rider, 6'3 and 215 lbs. I use the wire bead, 25 width tire. Got about 1,500 miles on my rear Gatorskin before it developed a flat profile. Changed to a new Gatorskin. Tire has low rolling resistance, and performs well in cornering, wet weather, etc. Not as grippy in dry cornering than some other tires, but is predictable, and will not let go.

I was looking for a tire that gave consistent performance, without the worry of every small thorn and piece of glass going through the tire. When BTD has these tires on sale, they are a great value. I keep a spare set at home, for 'just in case.'

These tires are simply indestructible - perhaps a little heavy for racing but great for high mileage training and general road riding miles

Bought these tires for an 800 mile ride through TX & LA. They performed well and no flats over some pretty poor road conditions. The wear on the rear tire seemed more than previous tire experience.

I run a a high-end road bike rental business and these are the go to tire for me. I've tried a lot of tires but these have always held up the best for puncture protection and they provide good year round traction with a supple road feel on any road surface and they provide confident cornering. Our late summer and fall months give us the nasty yellow star thistle and using the Gatorskins I have never have to patch a flat caused by this thorny pest.

If you want a tire that will last this is the one. I've used these tires on our Tandem that requires a tough tire but smooth ride for centuries and they deliver.

Good quality materials and Continental rep. Not too bad going on, noticed improved speed and cornering. See how they survive the summer.

Riding on our levee system daily with plenty of small rocks.. It seemed hopeless not to have a flat once a week. Im in love with these gator skins and two of my friends have already purchased these tires after my success. Fantastic product.

Great tire for training. I use this set of tires in Laredo, Texas where you find a lot of caliche on the road. Works exceptionally well, good puncture resistance!

I don't mind the extra weight for training as it makes it easier when I put on lighter tire for racing. I also have not had to change tubes so I can spend more time on the road.

On second set have not had a single flat!!

I have used these for about 2000 miles on a Fuji bike, no flats yet. I run these at 120PSI and they feel good. I am a medium to advanced rider with a lot of weight on these tires. At the right price at Bike Tires Direct, get them.
