Great all around tire!

5

I buy one pair of these a year and they easily accrue the most miles on both my cx/commuter and my road bike. I get at least 3000 miles per season on them and I have had only one flat (pinch from a huge pothole). Very durable, smooth-rolling, and very comfortable to ride on. I should note that I have only used the 700x25 size.

What a tyre - Gators are great

5

These tyres are the best tyres if you sick and tied of flats and tyres wearing out to quickly. They are super grippy and last a very long time. I am yet to get a flat with these tyres - you will get 1000's of km's out of them which is fantastic.

Best overall road tire

5

I have used these the 700-23C tires on my training bike for a while, although they are a fair bit heavier than race tires and much more rigid, I have had zero flats in 2000 kms. The tread life also seems good.

These tires are starting to show their age though, with faded logos and slight cuts in the tire.

If you do purchase these tires I would recommend topping them off with air once a week to prevent pinch flats. By doing so you will encounter zero flats!

I really like these GatorSkins

5

My bike came with 23c Duranos and they rode rough. I was told that these Conti GatorSkin 25c's would be a hot set up for me as I weigh 210+lbs and I tend to ride in the trash a bit. These tires only flatted once and that was my fault as I hit a fairly big rock when desending at speed. The only other issue was a thorn flat but upon inspection the tire was worn out so I can't blame the tire for me riding it past it's useful service life. i'm on Conti GP4000s now and I like the GatorSkins just as well and the GP4000's are leaving me flatted every other ride at this point, so it will be back to the GatorSkins very soon.

Swear by these tires

5

In almost 3000 miles, I have yet to get a puncture flat on the road. While I am cautious about going over glass and gravel on the road, I can remain confident that my tires will hold up.

Excellent!

5

The only downside to these tires? They last forever! I'm just hoping one of them will die just so I can get a new set... Used mostly for winter training and commuting, they've seen everything: dirt, gravel, glass, potholes, you name it... So far they haven't found their nemesis.

Great tire

5

Only tire I will use. 99% of my miles comes from bike commuting in MN. These tires usually last me about a year, 6-7,000 miles before I start to get flats. I love them, but expensive.

No flat

For the price, this tire combine durability and lightness. I did not have a flat in one summer of use. It's great.
