Yep. I'm sure. After my GP 4000s sidewall issues, I decided to stop using Conti's on my weekend road bikes (fast descents). That tire was a left over new tire. I figured would be OK for commuting, as the Gatorskin has an extra sidewall layer and my commute is almost flat.
Edit to add: I found the other spare Gatorskin in the garage this AM. I'm trashing it.
