Review: Made in Germany = Quality; even for road bike tires - I'm not an avid bicycler, but I do commute to school everyday (16 miles total) in a densely populated, and therefore dirty, area. The winter's arriving so I wanted new tires, andI was also tired of replacing tubes since my other tires weren't thick enough for the urban debris. After all the rave reviews, I thought this tire could possibly save me if I were drowning so I gave it a try. I have replaced tires before, but NOTHING came close to the level of difficulty of putting these tires on the rims. I initially thought I ordered the wrong tire but that wasn't it. It took an hour and a half to successfully wrench the tires onto the rim--deploying sundry metal items as levers since the classic plastic tire levers weren't working--and two busted tubes as I tried to fit them on with the tire and the tire pinched a hole in them from the tight fit. After letting the tires stretch for a while, it still was just as difficult to put the tires on the rim in order to replace the tubes. Nevertheless, the inauspicious beginning ended, and I love the new tires. I, out of necessity, must sometimes ride over garbage and glass, and these tires don't flinch. Rain, no problem. Uneven gravely roads, no worries. Good traction even though it's a simple design. And the best part: Made in Germany. I love German quality (I lived there for a while), and these tires have already proven themselves. However, the winter and ice are yet to come, so I might amend my review in a few months time...
Review: Seems to be resisting rocks and thorns better than my previous tire did - I got these because they were rated high on desertcart. I’ve been using one for my back tire for about a month every day going to and from work. It seems to be a really good quality tire. It feels a little thicker than the standard tire, so I’m sure it’s better at resisting thorns and rocks. I haven’t noticed any compromise of comfort or performance for the extra rubber. Works like a tire should. Likes - Works like a tire should. No issues with comfort or inflation. - Seems to be resisting rocks and thorns better than my previous tire did. On my commute I encounter quite a few little things that can ding my tires, but it seems to be holding up well. I inspected it and only found 1 thorn in the tire, but it’s maintaining its 100-110 PSI, so I say it’s been successful. Dislikes - I’m not sure why, but it came with 2 manufactured cavities (“holes”). I took a picture of them. They littlerally look like 2 perfectly round holes in the tire. They haven’t caused any issues, but not sure why it has them. Overall, seems like a quality tire. For its intended purpose, it seems to be working really well.

## Features

- CARBON BLACK MIXTURE- The Gatorskin, manufactured with a durable carbon black mixture, is as comfortable on the way to work as it is training for road races
- WEAR OPTIMIZED TREAD- Get the most out of your tire with the Gatorskin’s wear optimized tread compound, adding a long service life
- DURASKIN- Sidewall protection coming from the high quality polyamide fabric encasing the core casing of the tire from scuffs and cuts under the worst conditions
- POLYXBREAKER- The polyester fibers overlap during manufacturing, yielding a very dense fabric and minimal space in-between threads, making the PolyX highly resistant to any foreign body without reducing the rolling resistance

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome Tire
*by T***E on August 18, 2014*

Great tires, easy to mount and have a nice ride. As far as puncture resistance they do not necessarily perform any better or worse than others I have owned that I can tell. There are a lot of goat head thorns in my area as well as a decent amount of this small metal debris on the roads for some reason. This pretty much gets into any tire, then tube that I have ever tried. That aside, I would buy these again - they have performed very well in wet conditions as well as on roads where I am climbing and there is a decent amount of slippery sand in the road - not something you want when putting power to the pedals. These tires grab on to the road and I have not felt the slightest bit of slipping. When the time comes I plan to purchase these again - all variables the same, and enjoy many more miles on them!
