Continental Gatorskin and Continental Gatorskin Hardshell

Continental Gatorskin tires have been one of our best selling tires for a couple years now. The combination of flat protection, good ride, and Continentals great quality have helped the Gatorskin gain popularity and use around Chicago. A durable carbon black mixture, a well regarded puncture protection system and DuraSkin-anti-cut fabric turn the GatorSkin, formerly known as Ultra GatorSkin, into a real long distance runner.

The Ultra GatorSkin has set the bar for a perfectly-balanced blend of ride quality and long-term durability without breaking the bank … but still the roads of North America demand a model even tougher. The all NEW GatorHardshell delivers!!!
Sharing the bead-to-bead protection of DuraSkin, the Hardshell casing wraps further into the sidewall and an extra-wide PolyX Breaker covers the entire tread strip from shoulder-to-shoulder. Added material in the tread strip not only improves mileage, but lends yet another degree of puncture resistance.Both Gatorskin and Gatorskin Hardshell come in a wire bead and Kevlar beaded folding version.
