Continental GatorSkin DuraSkin Tire

Used on my Cannondale CAAD 12. Went through two tires in 6 months before these. Now have over 500 miles on them with absolutely no issue. I also havent noticed any difference in speed, but im not a competitive rider. Id highly recommend these.

Great tires. Totally worth the cost.

Best road tiers I’ve had I don’t race, just ride often. Maybe flat once a year.

I have used Continental GaitorSkins on tandems and single bikes, I like them because they roll well but are also extremely durable.

These are good flat resistant tires

I have got 3845 miles on them, need to think about replacing the rear, the front still has more miles to go

I had these tubes for 3 months well the first one started puncturing my tubes the first week after hitting a rock so that stopped being used this week again I hit a rock and my tube has 6 slash marks on it from the wiring inside the tire protruding out and slashing my tubes from the force of the little rock. Long story short it will flatten your tubes dont buy stick to a regular tire. I would of probably spent less if I just bought the non-armored tire. Ive already gone through 8 tubes regardless of these tires.

I had Gator tires on my last bike and they worked great. I ride on paths and streets and they work great on both. I replaced my C23 with a C25 gator tire and the ride is much more comfortable and even a bit faster. Highly recommmend them

I got these to replace the original (which was also largely without tread) and a replacement (which had a moderate thread) on my Specialized Hybrid bike. These are pretty much a slick tire without tread (although there is a small pattern which may provide a little extra grip). Very easy to install. I have found them very smooth (my average speed over a ride has increased by about a mile an hour) and still sufficiently grippy. I recently got some wrong information on a rail trail and was advised it was paved for 13 miles. It ended up only being paved for 1.3 miles (someone forgot the decimal point). The rest was gravel and dirt. I decided to stick with it since I had driven an hour to get to the trail. I was concerned that it would damage the new tires but no problem. Since they cost about 1/2 the price of similar Specialized tires I am so far very pleased.

You simply cannot buy a more reliable tire. Rolling resistance and weight is quite good. I have gone four years without a flat on these tires. The 25c tire rides better than the 23c, rolls better, and has very little weight penalty.
