Continental GatorSkin DuraSkin Tire

The price was excellent

I ordered two Gatorskin 25mm tires for my road bike and put them on. Ive had great experience with Gatorskin products in the past. Once on, I found that the back tire was rubbing against the frame of the bike in one part of the revolution. At first I thought this must mean that I had bent the rim and it was out of true. I took the bike to my bike mechanic who called and told me the wheel was fine and true. The problem was that despite the tire I purchased being marked 25mm it is actually a 28mm tire, and that is larger than my bike frame can accept. Unfortunately, with all the delays in getting service done, by the time I discovered this, I was a week beyond the return deadline. This has never happened with other Gatorskin product Ive purchased (and indeed, didnt with the other tire I bought at the same time), but clearly there was some kind of quality control issue at the factory where a 28mm tire got marketed and sold as a 25mm tire.

Great tire, seems durable. It’s extra padding adds weight a little bit. As common to road tires, sides are the weakest point.

My favorite tires as they limit flats and are great for training. This is at least my third pair and I don’t plan to run anything else.

Great product

Tires are awesome no Flats whatsoever.

Great Tires.

Great puncture resistant tires

As the headline says, I have used these tires for years and, while I am not light, they last well over 1,000 miles and I get few flats. I plan to continue to use them.

Product was just as advertised.
