Continental GatorSkin DuraSkin Tire

New durable road bike tires shipped very quickly and were delivered in pristine condition

First 100 miles on these tires, so far so good. Theyre a bit harder compound than the GP5000s I replaced, but no traction issues yet. Cornering and straight line rolling resistance are good. Ill definitely have to swap front to rear to manage wear.

I’m on my 3rd set of GatorSkins. I get between 2,400-3,000 miles out of these tires. The roads where I live are rough to say the least. I tried many other tires but had regular flats and I would average 300 to 500 miles before the tires were chewed up and needed to be replaced: that’s as often as every 4 to 6 weeks. The pair of GatorSkins that I just replaced had just over 2,400 miles on them and had chunks missing from glass and rough roads. Even at that, I never had a flat on them. My last pair went just over 3,000 miles. Worth every penny!

Prior to purchasing front and rear Gatorskins for my commuter road bike, I would get a flat every few weeks. After purchasing these Gatorskins, I did not get a flat for three and half years (May 2018) , and today finally purchased a new rear Gatorskin tire. The relief of not having to worry about flats has fundamentally changed my riding experience.

After experimenting with different tires Ive come to settle on these. Probably the 3rd set Ive purchased even put them on my wifes bike as well. Always great tred wear and longevity. lll never go with another brand again.

I have a couple hundred miles on them so far. No flats yet. Edit: Four months in, one flat so far. :(

Im living in a not-so-nice area at the moment for college and ride my bike to class a couple of miles every day. The sides of the roads are typically laden with glass and shrapnel from car accidents, so I was used to getting a flat every month if not every week. Ive had these for 3-4 months now, and not a single flat or tear. Im a satisfied customer.

So after about 3 weeks of riding I have had 2 flat tires from typical city road debris. I bought these tires with the hopes to decrease flat tires. Also while I have been changing flats I have noticed the tires are different sizes. One slips on to the rim very easy, almost to easy! The other tire is a pain in the neck to get on the rim. Im gonna contact the seller to see about replacement.

Just put the tire on my bike have not even ridden them and there are 2 fairly large holes in both tires. Bought these to replace my old tires that had a few thousand miles on them. Not sure if these are going to be safe to ride on with these holes.

Wow I do appreciate the fact that I can carry a back up tire there’s the negative that these flex too much and I have to run 120 psi versus 80 on a non-foldable tire. Also note I see threads coming off the side seams.
