ive ran fortes, kendas, conti gatorskins and got flats like 3 to 4 times a month on the gators and recently the sidewall was slashed via a rock small as your thumb.

I replaced it with a michelin krylion, picked it up for 28 bucks. was my back tire if that matters, so far goddamn it rides like a dream and i feel tons faster, we will see how it lasts.
supposedly the michelin pro 4 endurance replace them, if it works out ill replace the front gator with one of those.

i honestly dont know... i asked you about armadillos, because ive had so many friggin problems with gatorskins even though my friends and reviews on forums say they are going miles and miles without flats but not me. **** conti
