Only have about 300 hundred miles on tires so far. No flats. Smooth ride, great service.
Great road bike tires. Very good traction and no flats to report. A great buy.
Before I replaced my tires with the Gatorskin, I was using slime in the tubes to avoid flats.
The problem with the slime was that it would clog the valve and I could not get an accurate air pressure reading.
I still would get flats with the slime in the tube.
Once I replaced the tire with the Gatorskin, no more slime, or flats.
Also I am able to get an accurate reading on the tire pressure.
Really works great on the road and rail trail.
Use them on my two road bikes.
Tough tire but a nice ride on these training tires. No more flats!
I have only put these 100miles on the tires, but they are doing well in the wet muddy winter conditions in Portland, OR. I also have to navigate around numerous homeless camps strewn with glass, needles and debris, putting these tires to the urban test. I'll check back in another couple hundred miles....
Great tires if you hate flats
On the roads I ride this tire is the best.
I was introduced to Gatorskins by a fellow cyclist. I formerly bought the cheapest tires and ended up paying more ultimately in flats and reduced cycling time. They are now my go to tire.
Great tire, durable and dependible
Gatorskins are worth the extra price for the promised reliability and sturdiness.
I'm hard on my tires and hope they will live up to their reputation.
We ride a tandem with 700x32 and have run these until the dots are gone never have had a flat
Enough said.
5 stars, need nor say another word, buy them! Easy to install.
I have the tires on 2 different road bikes. Running at 90 psi. I am 190 lbs. Rise is very cool forsake. Changed from 700x23 @ 125 psi to this 700x25 @ 90. No apparent loss of performance but much more comfortable.
I bought my first set and have about 2000 miles on them. Only one flat in a year and half. Before I would be fixing tires after every ride, Here in New Mexico we have goatheads which are nasty little things. I do mainly road riding but there is a lot of broken glass, wire, nails and trash along the highways. I would highly recommend these tires. To make them ALMOST bullet proof to flats I have considered putting liners in them to help. These are well worth them money. I have no problem mounting them on my rims. Have already put a new set of Gatorskins on my new Kona and removed the tires that came with the bike. This is the only tire I will buy for my bikes.
Have been using these for 7 years. Even manage to reach 12000km on a front tyre and 7000km on a back tyre!
Great tire, rides smooth
These tires are great. You will compromise performance and aggressiveness with this tire but the ride quality is much better.
