Agree with other reviews stating that this is a reliable, puncture-resistant tire. I've used these tires for a long time with no problems. Only issue - hard to mount when new.
when my tires become slick I replace them with new ones!!!
They take the road divots well...Great now for Fall road biking!!
I use these tires for everyday commutes and hard training
My new Gator Hardshell tires are the best set of tires I've ever used on my Trek 5500 road bike. I have over 20,000 miles on my bike and gone thru a variety of road bike tires. None are better than the Hardshells
rear wheel, it is bullit-proof.
