Continental GatorSkin DuraSkin Tire

Excellent tire, I put at least 100 miles a week on them. Last about 3000 plus before they are like slicks.

Came fast a little hard to mount new tires for first time so be careful

Exelente calidad,embio ràpido

Had these tires for 9 months now and less than 3K miles. Strands of nylon or whatever material used on the sidewall are fraying off. Never had this with other tires.

Good quality, original Continental product, and looked great once assembled. Highly recommend to some how warm tire to install. I didn’t do this with the first tire and had a very hard time getting it on the rim. The second tire was a breeze, left it in the sun for a few minutes and I was able to install it in less then five minutes. Don’t know yet how durability.

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.

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

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.

Hopefully I’m not jinxing myself. I’ve had great luck with these tires. As of now, I have about 1500 miles on them and have only had one flat. To be fair, nothing would’ve prevented it because it was a drywall screw and it almost went through the rim too. That was about 1000 miles ago and no problem with the hole in the tire (I thought it would bubble or bulge, but it didn’t). I’ve ridden through a lot of glass and debris without getting flats. Depending on your riding style and how often you ride, I’d say 1500-2000 miles is probably what you can expect out of the rear tire. I can see getting close to 3000-4000 miles out of the front. Mind you, this is all on pavement.

These are great bike tires, my go to for century rides. I just completed the stagecoach century in el centro, ca and the road out there gets pretty rough but the gatorskins are very durable and I ride with more confidence on them knowing it is highly unlikely I am going to get a flat.
