Continental Gatorskin 25mm road cycling tire review: 6,000 miles

[@VISlONARY1]

One thing worth mentioning is that these tires are directional, meaning they are only supposed to rotate in one direction, you don't want to put them on backward which is very easy to do. It tells you on the sidewall which way they are to rotate, but it is quite difficult to see. This guy has them on correctly though, but I almost missed it when installing mine.

[@rockroll2940]

Have had many pairs...Never knew what the two holes were for...

[@ericamartinez8807]

Thank you for your review

[@VideoNOLA]

Shredded mine after just a couple hundred miles on New Orleans roads! :-/ (Bought more, cuz I love them anyway. FYI, way cheaper on Amazon!)

[@jsboelk]

I came here to see if i should buy these on amazon or not lol Thank you!

[@yishaithegift9953]

Yeah Amazon you can get the pair for the price of one.

[@albert333pool]

Do you chance your own road tires? Tempted to do my own.

[@acostarico418]

You talk too much, and you don't say anything

[@dvxAznxvb]

Really long unboxing......

[@hunkydude322]

hand made or not those tires seem be very good quality, i may have to buy some somtime, cause i keep gettting flats on my road bike, i also think the tires are bit wore, but anyways they sure look like good qualitly tires, thanks for the tips.

[@MrShoji5150]

I love gator skin than grand pix 4000. It feels more strong and solid.

[@billytaylor655]

Are there benefits from buying folding tires over rigid ones?

[@Maenso1]

Folding tires weight less than rigids, also they are easier to mount

[@rockroll9473]

12 pair...no flats...

[@novamondal7339]

You can store them more easily and fold one up as a spare for touring.

[@HDMOVIECREATOR2012]

How come theres 2 holes (half way in) the tires when I got them? Do you know why?

[@sergiorivera2007]

The two little holes are the wear indicator

[@slickdreams9325]

How much u bought it for ?

[@pattencycling]

I see you have a jamis bike how is it

[@robitusin4645]

how long will it last if you skid it all the time?

[@joshsmith159]

No tyre will last very long if you skid all the time.

[@robitusin4645]

ok thank you

[@joshsmith159]

Although I have heard that fixie riders like these tyres for that reason.

[@robitusin4645]

josh smith you are correct

[@robitusin4645]

josh smith cause I dont wanna change my tire every week

[@ronaldrt]

What are these like for winter use?

[@Scaglibones]

+Ron Tindale They have worked great in wet weather. My winter experience has been limited to more southern rainy climates that may only get as cold as 60 deg. Since this will probably suit most people in winter they should be good for that. If you want a tire with slightly more traction in whet conditions I recommend Continental 4 seasons. Same tire slightly better traction in the whet.

[@ronaldrt]

Do you know anything about the Vittoria Zaffiro?

[@aaron___6014]

get the touring plus for winter or marathon

[@peterrojo3670]

Ron Tindale no

[@shechshire]

What's the difference between gator skin & 4 season? Do they have the same protection? I'm actually looking at the gator hard shell which has even more protection than the regular gator skin. Does the four season have as much protection as the hard shell?

[@johnhampson7]

An extremely interesting subject made to sound exceedingly boring by this guy.

[@hedleykerr3564]

Best training tire Ive ever had 2 seasons on the tubular version (25m) still weighting to see if I get a flat 6500 k

[@georgestergiopoulos4271]

waiting or weighting?

[@getinsidelife]

very high rolling resistance - think twice before you buy it, they aint cheap

[@hemiforever]

Right.. No free lunch. About 20Watts of resistance at 18mph. www.bicyclerollingresistance.com/road-bike-reviews/continental-gatorskin-2015

Ben Sutter lmaooo this guy probably didnt even do research online

[@vicodinfreeman5504]

Would've been much better if you knew how to record and not talk unnecessarily.

[@alexeypashchenko]

extremly bad on rain

[@randombiketrips3296]

Alexey Pashchenko really? I've been thinking about new ones for winter but now I'm rethinking my choice. I don't like the Specialized Armadillos I'm currently using. They're heavy as hell.

[@juniorquintero1702]

Alexey Pashchenko why you say that ?

[@alexeypashchenko]

i got these on my bike, they runs great but not that good as conti 4000

[@alexeypashchenko]

Yes, I really like Continental Grand Prix 4000..

[@shadigif8916]

bad in the wet? people

[@gabrielg842]

Dude work on the shoddy camera handling, almost threw up watching this.
