Set Contains: 1 x Tyre 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: Ottimi - Sono ottimi pneumatici. Li usavo negli USA dove bucavo in continuazione e questi hanno risolto la situazione. Al momento di cambiare quelli della mia fissa in Italia, non ho avuto dubbi. ## Features - wheel size: 28 Inch - Color: black - Back-dimensions: 23 - 62 - Model: Gatorskin - suitable for racing bikes ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001UL5JNG | | Best Sellers Rank | #86,989 in Sporting Goods ( See Top 100 in Sporting Goods ) #327 in Bike Tires | | Bike Type | Road Bike | | Bike type | Road Bike | | Brand | Continental | | Brand Name | Continental | | Color | black | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 1,193 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00051342098255, 00051342098262, 04019238334647 | | Included Components | 1 TYRE | | Item Diameter | 700 Millimeters | | Item Type Name | Folding Bike Tyre | | Item Weight | 0.01 Ounces | | Item Width | 23 Millimeters | | Item diameter | 700 Millimeters | | Item width | 23 Millimeters | | Manufacturer | Continental | | Manufacturer Part Number | 0118538 | | Material Type | Synthetic rubber with DuraSkin reinforcement | | Model Number | 118538 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Size | 700 x 23mm Folding | | Tensile Strength | 120 Pounds Per Square Inch | | Tire Type | Clincher | | Tread Type | Semi-Slick | | Tyre type | Clincher | | UPC | 051342098262 051342098255 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Type | Lifetime | | Warranty type | Lifetime | | Wheel Size | 28 Inches | ## Product Details - **Bike type:** Road Bike - **Brand:** Continental - **Item diameter:** 700 Millimeters - **Item width:** 23 Millimeters - **Tyre type:** Clincher ## Images ![Gatorskin/Duraskin Folding 700c 23mm Road Bike Tyre - Black, 28 Inch - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Wu3DO2ejL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Made in Germany = Quality; even for road bike tires *by N***R on 10 November 2013* I'm not an avid bicycler, but I do commute to school everyday (16 miles total) in a densely populated, and therefore dirty, area.
