The Ultra Gatorskins have been great to me; first flat (rear tire) was at 657mi. and was a very thin wire during a wet ride. The only thing is they are pavement only at any decent speeds. My previous tire Kenda Kwests on a hybrid were having 4-5 flats a week, but since the change too a road bike and the UG’s I have been riding farther away from the road edges which has probably helped a great deal also.
