These are the best all-around tires money can buy, only tires I have purchased for the last, who knows how many years. How could Continental make these tires any better? BAM! black sidewalls!
Great tires, with great service from bitetiresdirect!
They hold up well with sand covered shoulders on the road.
This is my go to spring and fall tire. When there's usually a lot of debris on the roads these tires are great. They're not too heavy and I could ride them all season.
Gatorskin Black edition tires have displayed all the toughness of the original Gatorskin and the dark black sidewalk looks great against my Ti frame.
Putting these on a Specialized crossroads bike for use on the road more then gravel and rough conditions. The 32s offer more cushion yet have that road tyre feel.
Great rolling and puncture resistance
Tire seems well made, however 700x25 tires seem taller rather than wider than similar tires. I'm not sure how this affects performance if at all.
Order arrived promptly.
Love the gator skins for my tandem. Not worried about weight. Don't want flats
Bought several, lots of miles on them
Also bought several that went flat quickly;
One was a side wall
One was a puncture
Overall, I like them a lot
The tire is on my carbon frame road bike used on pavement (mostly) in southern New England. Good handling on dry surfaces, I generally avoid wet conditions if possible.
This is the only brand that I buy. Never let's me down. This is maybe my fourth pair. Yeah.. I ride a lot.
Rode a couple hundred miles on them. They ride nice no punctures and minimal wear considering their rolling under ~260lbs.
I have used Continental Gatorskins for years. They're a great, durable training tire option for a variety of conditions.
I use these tires on my two road bikes. They get me through the season without having to change them. Durable.
Cant beat em. Built for abuse. Not too heavy, great roll resistance.
Got those tires when they were on sale. They were very smooth to ride and great on climbing hills. Excellent value tires..
All rides are paved roads so far so good after 1200 miles
I ride a circut type course with many turns. This tire is smooth and grippy.
