ContinentalGatorskin 700c Road Tire (Folding)(Return to Product Page)

Title pretty much says it all. Bought two new Gatorskins. Put them on this morning and went for a 25 mile ride. The rear tire was going flat as I pulled into my driveway. I bought these to replace some aging Michelins so I guess I will put those back on.

I just finally put on the new tires two weeks ago. I already had two flats on the same tire. I must have a bad one.

My standby tire for all of my road bikes.

Only use Conti's best tyre for my need

Excellent!

Good all around choice for winter, bad roads, etc. Nothing's bullet-proof, but these are pretty close, and they wear well. If you need even better flat protection, the 'hardshell' version seems a bit better.

great tires no flats

I absolutely love these tires! I have been riding on these for several years now and won't train on anything else. Here on Wyoming's rural roads, chip sealed pavement and otherwise rough roads are the norm. with regular tires I can count on several flats a season. With these, maybe just one or two. They last me a few thousand miles. They aren't too heavy and the feel isn't bad.

This was my second time purchasing Gatorskins. I do a lot of road biking for long distances, and my first pair lasted me two years (including two 7-day rides from San Francisco to Los Angeles) and thousands of miles. They finally got worn down and needed to be replaced. I only had one flat tire in that time and it wasn't due to a puncture. I recommend these tires to my teammates all the time, and highly recommend them to anyone who's doing a lot of riding and doesn't want to deal with changing flats all the time.

I bought this tire to replace the Continental Race tires I used regularly. Race tires would catch flats fairly often. Not so with the Gatorskins! No looking back-these tires last and take a beating without fail over a variety of surfaces-concrete, asphalt, tar and chip. Best example No issues over the Greater Allegheny Passage-an old railroad converted to bike trail between Cumberland Md and Pittsburgh Pa. Trail is a fine crushed limestone. No issues with the Gatorskins. They are a little heavier than some tires, but at least I'm not off my bike on the side of the road fixing a flat!

I am a tire freak. I have thought about, tested, and ridden so many tires-I don't even want to think about all the money I have spent. No matter what cool new tire I try, I always come back to the Gatorskins. They're not the fastest or the lightest, but if your looking for a great all around riding tire for regular riding and training, Gatorskins are by far the best bet.

Performs flawlessly

The gatorskins were the first tires i bought, and I still use them!

I've used gatorskins for years and find them to be a great combination of durability, puncture resistance and ride quality.

These gatorskins have good rolling resistance and no problems with flats.

Great tires for the city, they are light and tough.

Used for road riding. Tire rolls nicely and flats are rare. Very durable.

My son and I both use this tire because we want a tire that is durable and this tire serves that purpose.

Whenever I do a trail tour, I put on my skins and have never punctured.

I often find myself riding on good and not so good roads. The Continental Gatorskin is my go to tire for distance riding and training on crummy roads and has not let me down yet. At sale pricing this tire is a steal and highly recommended.
