Review: Really Nice Ride and Puncture Resistant - These are great tires. Seems to be of high quality design and construction by a respected manufacturer that knows tires as I also really like Continental car tires too for their performance and long wear at an affordable price. I brought a really nice high performance used bike but got a flat on the really light weight thin tires that were on it and had to walk the 3 miles back to my car. So I wanted to get some highly puncture resistant tires to replace them. I don't mind a little more weight and maybe a little less performance to avoid getting another flat again. These tires mounted well and ride really well as I haven't noticed any bad ride quality or lost in performance. I also went with the wired beaded tire instead of the folding tire as I thought it maybe a little stronger not being all folded up and therefore maybe a little more puncture resistant.
Review: Made in Germany = Quality; even for road bike tires - I'm not an avid bicycler, but I do commute to school everyday (16 miles total) in a densely populated, and therefore dirty, area. The winter's arriving so I wanted new tires, andI was also tired of replacing tubes since my other tires weren't thick enough for the urban debris. After all the rave reviews, I thought this tire could possibly save me if I were drowning so I gave it a try. I have replaced tires before, but NOTHING came close to the level of difficulty of putting these tires on the rims. I initially thought I ordered the wrong tire but that wasn't it. It took an hour and a half to successfully wrench the tires onto the rim--deploying sundry metal items as levers since the classic plastic tire levers weren't working--and two busted tubes as I tried to fit them on with the tire and the tire pinched a hole in them from the tight fit. After letting the tires stretch for a while, it still was just as difficult to put the tires on the rim in order to replace the tubes. Nevertheless, the inauspicious beginning ended, and I love the new tires. I, out of necessity, must sometimes ride over garbage and glass, and these tires don't flinch. Rain, no problem. Uneven gravely roads, no worries. Good traction even though it's a simple design. And the best part: Made in Germany. I love German quality (I lived there for a while), and these tires have already proven themselves. However, the winter and ice are yet to come, so I might amend my review in a few months time...

## Features

- CARBON BLACK MIXTURE- The Gatorskin, manufactured with a durable carbon black mixture, is as comfortable on the way to work as it is training for road races
- WEAR OPTIMIZED TREAD- Get the most out of your tire with the Gatorskin’s wear optimized tread compound, adding a long service life
- DURASKIN- Sidewall protection coming from the high quality polyamide fabric encasing the core casing of the tire from scuffs and cuts under the worst conditions
- POLYXBREAKER- The polyester fibers overlap during manufacturing, yielding a very dense fabric and minimal space in-between threads, making the PolyX highly resistant to any foreign body without reducing the rolling resistance

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ GREAT Tires, Had to order a 2'nd pair!
*by K***C on June 27, 2025*

Had these for 5 months, no problems (any tire you buy has chances of getting a flat). I ordered another pair today for my other rims. Most of my cycling friends use these tires. Comfort, keep the tire pressure around 75-80 psi to get a more comfortable ride. I had 23's but my 2007 Trek Madone only goes up to a 28.
