I've been using these on the streets of NYC for the last 5 years. They are rugged, smooth and prevent flats when rolling over cut glass. Of course, you should avoid doing that, because you can still get a flat, but these stand up to the usual beating of city streets. Highly recommend you spend the extra money and get a couple of these, then take them to the local bike shop and have them put them on for only the cost of labor. Online you an buy a pair for $60-$70 whereas that would be the prince for only one in the bike shop.

Definitely a good, robust training tire. I like the idea that they are somewhat resistant to punctures, but I did the Palm Springs Century on these and got 7 flats. Granted, these were all a result of small cactus prickers that I picked up along the road, but a flat is a flat. Who knows maybe I would have had more flats with another tire. Still a good tire for a decent price.

Bike was an 8 year old racing carbon Lemond. Frame was intended for 23mm tires. The actual width measurement on our rim measured approximately 24.2mm. This is a good thing. This is a good all around tire. I have been using Gatorskin tires for several years. A fairly fast tire with a little flat protection. Well engineered, and the quality is first class.

Previously I'd been using the Armadillo tires. They've been good through the years in greatly reducing punctures. These Gatorskins were less expensive and so far have been great with no punctures or problems. So far they have been really good. Was a little concerned about using a folded tire for the first time, but no problems with that.

I have such good wear and use with continental tires that they are the only ones I will buy. This purchase was no exception. I received a very high quality tire at a great price. I am very happy and highly recommend. A+
