OK, reasonable call out on overstating the point. http://www.bicyclerollingresistance.com/road-bike-reviews/compare/continental-gatorskin-2015-vs-continental-grand-prix-4-season-2015 is largely thr basis for my conclusion.

Anecdotally, I've just been unimpressed with the feel of Gatorskins. I just think there are better tires.
