I rode gatorskins for years and rarely got punctures, so they definitely do that job well.

But as as others have said, they roll like garden hoses. I finally branched out and tried something new and the difference in ride quality was amazing... and I still wasn’t getting punctures, so I concluded that maybe my roads were better than I thought.

So so I bought some compass tires, because why not have plush fast tires and enjoy the ride more? Well, i quickly got a lot of punctures, although the ride quality was great while it lasted.

So so what did I do? Converted to tubeless. Now I get no punctures and ride on a cushion. Couldn’t be happier, totally worth the money.
