I don't want to start a fight but I disagree with this statement, I have a gatorskin 700x25 and it's now on my spare wheel, I lost confidence in the thing because of the many flats I had with it. Its hard and fast and durable but for the puncture protection it's the worst I ever got.

I may have been unlucky with it but I hate to rely on luck.

I now ride on Vittoria rubino and they're great so far.
