ContinentalGatorskin Tire - Black Edition
Item # CONF036
Gatorskin Tire
Combining the robust quality we've come to expect from the original with a sleek, all-black look, the Continental Gatorskin Black Edition Tires are still for the urban cyclist whose daily commute consists of mile after mile of roughshod roads, but also appreciates a striking aesthetic. The Gatorskins feature two distinct layers of puncture protection: a Duraskin mesh at the sidewalls to prevent cuts, and a dense, PolyX breaker under the tread to protect against direct punctures and road debris. From wet, wintry conditions to gravel-strewn, pothole-ridden roads, this tire leads you confidently into battle.
- Durable road tire for commutes on rugged, beat-up surfaces
- Dual-layer puncture protection maximizes debris defense
- Duraskin offers optimal sidewall protection
- PolyX Breaker helps prevent punctures from ruining the ride
- Folding bead helps cut down on weight, not performance

Amazing
I’ve been riding on these tires for the last 5 years. Great traction in wet conditions. It wears evenly. I ride about 4,000 plus miles a year and I’ve never had a problem with them. I recommend it.

Is the price for a set or just one? I am not trying to buy two sets that's all.

"Holes" are wear indicators
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
- Fit:
- True to size
I had read previous reviews on Amazon that there were complaints of holes on the tires. I inspected prior to install and saw that mine had them too. I contacted Continental's customer service and they quickly replied indicating that the "holes" are wear indicators and do not have any impact to performance. I only have about 100 miles on them currently, but they've performed well and I'm confident on pavement and gravel.

I ride between 5000-6000 miles a year. 90% of the roads are horrible chip seal at best. Roads are usually full of gravel, glass, trash, and construction debris. The only thing that I had that has flatted these tires were construction staples and a roofing nail. I get between 6000-7000 miles of riding out of these. My new bike (I got Jun 2020) had Vittoria Rubino Pros on it. They were showing more wear after 200 mile then these do after 400 miles and they don't role as good as these do. They are not by any means racing tires, but they role remarkably well for endurance tires. Most of the people I ride with use either these or the Conti Gator Hardshells. Love the look of the Black Edition!

Impressed with the tyres. I have the durability of the gatorskins and the all black sleekness. What else can you ask for?
