Huge Puncture Saver
Pros: Durable, Good Fit, Great Value, High Quality, Rugged
"No need to worry about punctures any longer, these tyres are virtually bomb proof and the only downside is that they don't roll as fast as race tyres but it is minimal and the time and money it takes to repair a flat is no comparison."

Great tyres
Pros: Durable, Great Value, High Quality, Rugged, good rolling resistance
"I have run Gatorskins now for 2 years and would recommend them to anyone looking for fast-rolling, puncture resistant (touch wood) commuting or training tyres. I have even bought a second set as winter tyres for my other road bike. The wet weather grip is fantastic, wear is ok (I am 15 stone) and I have only had a couple of punctures. I tend to top up the air every 3 days or so.
My only criticism is that they are not the lightest tyres going but they are not intended to be. If I was touring and had a folding Gatorskin in my bag I would be happy.
Other people I know hate these but I cannot explain why - perhaps these tyres like potholes as little as I do, rather than loving them as my friends might! Highly recommended, and superb value."

Much more confidence
Pros: Attractive, Durable, Good Fit, Rugged
"I got my bike in the summer months and loved the whole setup. Then autumn came along and leaves on the road caused a few issues. Having just had a very wet spell of weather I soon realised the tyres than came with my bicycle were probably very good on dry roads but I found myself slipping everywhere and I had no confidence on club rides.
I got these after reading the reviews and they are great. Just the look and feel makes me more confident on the bike. It may just be a mental thing but I have found them great to ride in. At last weeks club ride the roads were wet and I definately had superior grip. That coupled with the anti-puncture qualities make this a great tyre."

5k before a puncture
Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Good Fit, High Quality, Rugged
"I don't cycle on the best of roads, its fair to say they are shocking at best. The last pair I got for my commuter was around the start of the year, so they did the whole snow ice, but importantly grit thing. 5000 miles later and I got my first puncture, they still carried on for about another 1000 miles before I decided I really needed an new set. I have to say I always check and pump up my tyres twice a week - roughly every 60 miles or so, and I age them by leaving them on an unused wheel for about a month before riding on them (no idea if this does anything but its abit of a habbit I have gotten into!).
Buy with confidence."

good commutint tyre
Pros: Durable, Great Value, Attractive, Comfortable, High Quality, Adjustable, Good Fit
"i use to get puncture very often atleast 2 a month on stock tyres on melbourne roads. Since putting these tyres on i have not had a puncture for 1 year !!!
they are really good in protecting you from broken glass which is usually the culprit.
i do pump them up to 110 twice a week which also helps in puncture protection."

Good, puncture free tyre
Pros: Durable, Great Value, High Quality, Rugged, Adjustable, Versatile
"I bought these tyres for my fixie, as most deep dish single speed wheels don't have quick releases, so for any flat tyres i need 2 shifters to get off.
Since buying these tyres i've had no flats, and don't have any worries about riding over dodgy surfaces."

No Punctures
Pros: Durable, Great Value, High Quality
"I had been getting quite a few punctures on my commute to work. Granted I had used the same tyres for a couple of years and they had a lot of wear and were very soft, plus they were quality slick tyres. I switched to these Gator SKins at the recommendation of a cyclist friend and they have been great. I don't notice any difference in speed and they have run over plenty of glass, debris and rough roads with no punctures after a year. I would recommend them."

Exactly what I was looking for.
Pros: Durable, Attractive, High Quality, Rugged, Versatile, Good Fit
"I ordered these tyres on the recommendation of Wiggle's on-line customer service suggestion and I have to say that I have not been disappointed.
Buying the tyre and tube set proved to be a good idea. They were fitted to the bike on the day after they were delivered. Since fitting I have had a few enjoyable rides on minor roads in the vicinity of my home and the tyres' performance has been faultless - the rides have been smooth and without undue friction.
Since buying the tyres I have spoken with a couple of friends who have also fitted them and they too are very satisfied with this product.
All round an excellent choice and thanks for the recommendation."

Excellent Commuter Tyre
Pros: Great Value, High Quality
"I've had these for a couple of weeks now. It's probably too early to make a definitive call on the puncture resistance of these tyres (although I've not had one yet) but they aren't noticeably heavier or slower than other "race" tyres I've had.
Given the price they are an excellent option for your daily commute to work when reliability is more important than flat-out speed."

An excellent upgrade
"These are my first road tyres so I could not say how they compare to other brands. I bought these to replace my 32mm CX tyres that came with my specialized tricross as they didn't perform very well on the road.
So far I am very pleased with them. They make for a faster quieter ride.
My only issue was that they really were very difficult to put on as others have said."

Bombproof winter training tyres
Pros: Durable, High Quality, Rugged
"Not the lightest or most flexible tyre, but will last all winter long without puncturing - good traction too. Go for 25c if it fits your frame, as the ride can be a little harsh on the smaller profile tyre."

Simply great tyres.. No pumpture's
Pros: Durable, Attractive, High Quality, Adjustable, Good Fit
"I have these tyres for 2 months now and I have had not pumptures since fitting them on the bike.
I was getting 1 flat a week which was beyond annoying. The cost for these tyres are easily covered it the amount of tubes you will replace by not having them. Also the tyres got me through hedge cutting season without a pumpture"

My worries are over
Pros: Durable, Great Value, High Quality, Good Fit
"After having a puncture the second time out on my stock tyres I was wondering if the shift from mountain bike to road bike was wise.
I bought some of these as they had good reviews, and I haven`t had a puncture since. I got them on with no need for tyre levers, although it took some patience and some may struggle.
Not only do they stand up to the commute to work, they also seem to have made the ride less harsh despite operating at a higher pressure than my old tyres.
Highly recommended."
