I use this tire for my all rounder because it is tough especially with someone over200 lbs! I get 2-3k out of each tire. I use them on all my day to day bikes including my Tandem. They are some tough tires!
I live in New Mexico and we have tons of goat head stickers. I use the tire on my road bike and the puncture resistance is amazing. However, the side wall will puncture if you happen to roll over something sharp. I've used these tires for 10+ years.
Added these tires to my wife's ride.
Excellent for more short gravel sections and a cushy ride with lower tire pressure.
Excellent pricing!
I've used them for years and they standup well and perform great
Have used these tires on two bikes over the last 6 years. Rarely have flats. Mileage seems good. I think the folding tire may be a little easier to mount than non-folding
Use Gatorskins for training and fitness. Like the looks and the durability.
It seems like I should be buying these tires by the dozen because I'm putting on my son's and my bikes. With the new testing for rolling drag it's clearly evident for us fast-recreational riders that bigger is better especially when you're a Clydesdale in your old age. Still some of us never break 190 lbs even when fit and need bigger tires.
Good tires, easy to install
I've tried many tires and this is the best. Have been using Gator skins for years and have had great experiences. In last six or seven years only had one flat and it was my fault. Ran them all year , once even to the cores. Get great wear out of them. Wish they made them tubeless.
Use on all my road bikes. Rolls great and puncture resistant.
Great price, quality product.
I keep getting the Gatorskins. They're fanstastically durable and best of all they're a smooth riding tire. I'm very happy with them. I've been riding for 30 years and have always used them after trying others.
I bought these thinking they would be more resistant to flats than the bontrager hardcase lites ive been riding. Holy sh*t was I wrong. Ive already had 3 flats in less than 100 miles. Very disappointed in this product.
My go to training tire. Long wearing and good road adhesion.
Although Gatorskins are heavier, there durability outweighs the weight. Eat less to compensate for the extra weight.
Provides great protection against flats, rolls well and wares well. Been using them for years and have not found a better all around tire.
These tires are the best ,less flats and more riding. I may be wrong but that is what it's all about. T.O.
I tried many tires but come back to the Gatorskin all the time. I can easily ride several thousand miles on them without any problems. During the summer the road surface is very hot most of the time in my area, and the tires can handle this without a problem. These tires also seem to be very puncture resistance, even when you use them maybe a little to long.
When I moved to Colorado in 2007 I would join in on group rides and I was always getting flat! Lots of goat heads out here. I switched out my tires soon after to gator skins and it's 14 years now without a Flat. Don't be that person that's always stopping the ride with a flat.
Where I live the pavement is often bumpy, cracked, and not always well - maintained. Additionally, many of the paved routes I ride include gravel sections. I've used Gatorskin tires for the past few years, and I have never gotten a flat. I feel comfortable tackling the occasional gravel stretch with these tires. They also last a very long time. They may not be the fastest tire around, but I'll take durability over speed for where I live!
