Continental GatorSkin DuraSkin Tire

Great tires, fast shipping. Order a pair before they are gone

I used to get flats somewhat regularly riding my Giant Contend 3 road bike in San Francisco for daily commutes - theres just a LOT of glass on the streets (and bike lanes) of SF! Finally decided to pull the trigger on these 2 years ago and my only regret is that I didnt do it sooner. Would have saved so much time and hassle replacing/patching inner tubes. Havent gotten a single flat or puncture in those 2 years since I installed them, so I feel pretty confident in my 5 star rating. When I swapped them out, I anecdotally felt like there was slightly more rolling resistance compared to the stock Giant tires they replaced, but at least some of that was mitigated by increasing tire pressure - these are rated for higher pressure than the stock tires, so I just needed to remember to fill them a bit more than I was used to.

I got a flat the other day and had a hard time getting home. I was running on stock 25 width tires that came with my bike. I was already planning on changing the stock tires, but at a later date. I decided to order the 25 Gatorskins since I heard some good things about them. I received them very quickly and installed them immediately. I only have about 250 miles on them so far, but I have not had a flat. Its maybe not enough miles to be boasting. The yellow side wall letters are cool too.

High quality tires!

Just replaced my prior set on my road bike. 4000 miles = 0 flats. Mix of paved, chipped, and gravel roads. Fantastic training tire!

They both last 3 month the sidewall doesnt last too weak

Arrived promptly and fits perfectly. Has really helped reduce the number of flats I get since putting them on.Now, if we could just rid the world of goat heads, life would be really good :).

this is the 3rd set of them on my bike,they will usually last about 3,000 miles,then the side wall will begin to unravel and get week

I have always liked quality and Continental is quality. You pay for it but it is a good investment. The Gator Skins will save you from what would have punctures with other tires. Put them on my Colnago Lux Dream which usually sports Continental Attack/Force tires but was having too May flats on those racing tires so I switched to Gator Skins because I am not racing.

With all local bike shops out of business do to covid, I found these at a great price.
