## Description

Review: Thick, lightweight, and fast: The perfect tire - Hands down, this is THE best tire I've ever bought for a bicycle. Just a background of my bike and the amount of riding I do, I typically put on 1,000-1,500 miles a year doing mainly country riding (rough, cracked asphalt), but I also do trailing (paved) and city riding (rough roads). I have a specialized bike that's 4 years old. Before I bought continental gatorskins, I would get at least 1-2 flats per week. One week I got a flat after every single ride (these were new tires, might I mention). I think that summer I had 15+ flats. I changed to continental gatorskins, and I've put on over 700 miles and haven't had a flat. When I first put on the gatorskins, I thought I had pinched the tube because it was a little tough getting on the rim. But, 8 months/700 miles later, the tires AND tubes handle like they're brand new. This tire is thick and has little tread for speed, but here's the catch: it's lightweight! It's very lightweight for how thick it is. I'm seriously amazed at all aspects of this tire, I will definitely buy another pair when I wear this one down.
Review: Good tire that I've used for years. - Very long wear life, runs true and resists flats.

Very long wear life, runs true and resists flats.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good traction, flat-resistance, nice ride
*by C***K on June 28, 2019*

We use Conti Gatorskin 700-32 on our tandem. The 32s roll very well. We're a light team but can still out-coast heavier teams. We hardly ever get flats. Do read the inflation guidance on the glued-on tag attached to the tire. The recommended 85psi works for us. These are wire-bead tires, not folding tires.
