tough tyre, excellent puncture protection

slow and heavy with poor grip.

Size 28. Thinking about 23's to save weight. First flat at 2730 miles on the front. We really have crap roads and I'm always riding over trash, rocks, etc. I'm at over 3200 miles now and just rotated back to front which was just starting to flatten, but still has the wear dots showing strong. . These have high rolling resistance, making them ideal for training as you have to work harder. But so far I estimate I have saved over 2 hours on the roadside. I flat fairly regularly in Conti 5000, and frequently in Vittoria Corsa G+, like every 400 miles.

Heavy and high rolling resistance.

This was recommended to me and so far so good.

Not at all for now. manifest your dreams and desire

I got this item from my previous buyer too!

Good looking tire. best tea for sleep

Not so Puncture resistant.

The Gator Hardshell is a very durable, puncture-resistant and comfortable tyre, at relatively high pressure it is yielding and comfortable for long rides. x470 motherboard

When it comes to a high-speed training session or 50+ mile chain gangs this would not be my first choice but in terms of a winter training tyre, club runs and for committed commuters, this is an excellent tyre. Atlanta Music Photography Pricing

Nice looking and riding tire.

I purchased a pair of 700x28c Continental Gatorskin Hardshells with the hope of puncture resistance and a better ride. I previously have ridden Specialized Armadillos (700x25) with no issues and literally no flats for over 2000 miles. I thought I would mix it up in the hope of a smoother ride with the Gatorskins, but no sure if there would be any improvement. Just going off online reviews and feedback. Plus I got a better deal on the Gatorskins. So on the first ride, FIRST RIDE, of only 9 miles on road and bike path (no dirt or any offroad), I got a puncture on the rear tire. JFC! Seriously?! The ride was ok, but I noticed the following morning the pressure was about half normal (maybe 40psi). That afternoon, completely flat. The culprit was 2 small thorns into the center meat of the tire. 2 separate holes, about 3mm apart right in the thickest center portion of the tire. These are small but hard thorns, they were not goatheads, but similar. Any normal tire would have punctured I'm sure. Probably not the Armadillos, and not if I had a tire liner. I am disappointed in that these tires are supposed to be puncture resistant. I am riding on normal, smooth (ie nice) pavement and a dedicated bike path. Maybe this was a one off event, but it certainly does not give confidence in this tire. I did patch the tube (it was brand new as well, a Bontrager) and will ride again. I will give more feedback if anything comes, but I'm hoping I am flat free for many miles to come. Unfortunately, not confident that will happen.

Super smooth on my commuter bike, pretty fast for 28mm excited to test the durability off-road.

Way too heavy

I use 700 x 25mm on my city hack bike and also for light touring. I find them a very resilient tyre (ride well at pressure) and virtually bulletproof. I use for them for peace of mind rather than anything else.

They have no tread and although they performed very well in the Jura mountains, they're not a tyre to be used on tracks (i.e. anything other than tarmac and they lack grip). Not a cheap tyre, but having used them, I won't be changing.
