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.
road bike last year 5056 miles , not bad for an 80yr old fart
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.
I commute 5000 miles per year in NYC, with all of the various conditions and hazards that entails, from potholes, broken glass, cobblestones, oblivious pedestrians, drivers, trucks, buses (did I mention potholes?) and have come to rely exclusively on my Gatorskins. I usually go through two sets per year, riding 5 or 6 days per week, year-round and never have more than one or two flats per year.
best tires i ever used, no flats in two years knock on wood!!!!!!!!!
Great product. Good all weather commutingtraining tire. Very good flat resistance. Not the absolute best for high speed cornering, but more than adequate for any uses other than racing. This has been my go-to tire for years and I've ridden them in every type of condition. Even ridden through piles of glass without flatting. (although I did have to pick it all out afterwards - not a recommended behavior) Consistent high quality product that has yet to disappoint.
These are the only tires I ride. I havent experienced a flat in over a year.
Over the years this tire has been my go to tire. Great for avoiding flats, and wear. I usually change them at 3000 miles, but they still have life in them.
I've used gator skins and hard shells for years. Knock on wood, very few flats.

Use the tires on my Trek Domane. Love the toughness that resists flats - have been using these for several years with very few flats. Bought a wider size to accommodate my new bike with disc brakes and the resulting ride is noticeably smoother. Decent mileage.
Been using this particular tire for over a decade and over 40,000 miles. Weighs just a bit more than a racing tire, but is so much more puncture resistant. Sacrifice a little stickiness, but a seasoned bicyclist will intuitively know just are hard to push these in corners. Part of the weight savings is in the sidewalls. So prone to pinch flats if you do not keep the pressure near maximum 120 psi.
I have been running these tires in 23's for a while. Love them. The only thing this time i went to 25's to test this theory that larger is faster
I use it now for year round commuting on a fixie and I've used it in the past for training on a road bike.
These tires are very reliable, smooth rolling and easy to mount.
These tires are grippy and durable! Easy to intstall with fold belt. Hope to be using these for lots and lots of miles.
They never disappoint. Wish I had them in all my bikes.
The only tires I use. Gatorskins are a little heavier but much more durable. Don't leave home without them!
The best
