This set of tires can give you long miles to train as hard as you can. There are no other tires than can give you the long lasting and most importantly the anti punctured resistance. These work fine for almost any road conditions.
I am mainly a commuter and need flat resistant tires. I have tried a number of other brands but the Gatorskins have always given me the most miles before replacement is necessary. The only reason I didn't give a 5 star rating is that I had one folding bead tire blow a side wall at only 1000 miles. Hope that was an anomaly.
Been riding on Continentals for several years because of the great price and quality
Great value for the money. Good on all road surfaces. Very few flat tires over the years and then mostly due to not changing them out when they are worn out.
I am a 250 lb recumbent rider. Love this tire for touing. Light good grip, and easy to mount.
Good tire. Always buy them when on sale. I have had problems with what I believe is the anti puncture layer on the sidewalls wanting to peel off.
I put a set of these on my wifes bike before her Ironman 140.6 each year just to take one worry out of the equation. With these bada skins most likely she will not have to deal with a flat. Love them big time!!

road bike last year 5056 miles , not bad for an 80yr old fart
Not the most supple or fastest ride on the world bud I'd rather save 15mins not changing a flat than her an extra 8 watts. 280 miles Fort Myers Beach to Key West. 12 flats including shreds on our group of 8. Mile of them had this tire.
Zero for me.
These are great tires. I have raced across the country twice in the Trans American Bike and had a total of two flats over the 8400 miles. Im racing again this summer and would never use any other tire.
Worried that these 28s would not fit but they fit great. I was amazed at the difference in my ride after using 25s. Very smooth ride.
Purchased a pair of these in 700c x 23 tires for an older road bike with limited tire clearance. I selected the Gatorskins for a combination of high puncture resistance, reasonable price, and good prior experiences with these in a wider size.
Great tires, I live in an area where we have
Goat heads which flatten our tires every time we go out, but these tires give great protection. The small drawback is that the initial instastalatiin is a bit difficult because tire is tight
Great tires for training rides.
I have been using Gatroskins for years and have had minimal flats. The roads I ride on can be rough and periodically have broken glass on them. I have recommended, and will continue to recommend Gatorskins.
Tires replaced a heavier, stiffer, puncture resistant tire which provided a hard and slower ride. The Gatorskins smoothed out the ride, allowed a faster pace with less work and were easy to mount without breaking my thumbs. I have used Gatorsklins in the past with excellent reliability and longevity. I replace tires about every 3000 miles.
Other than being a.little difficult to get on the rims, these tires are perfect for riding where there may be some bits of trash or rocks on the shoulder. They roll we'll and hold up. I ride them consistently instead of others and the price is usually right.
Dependable tire, puncture proof!
Have used these tires for our tandem for several years with no complaints. Tires are durable (no cutting) and have been pretty immune to flats as well.
