Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

I've heard mixed reviews on the everlast tires and have considered gatorskins, but was unsure whether they were long lasting or just very puncture resistant. Thanks.
i know this was a serious post but i just cant get past the third sentence without laughing.

anyway if it helps i just ordered some continental gatorskins.

During the past 5 years I've been riding my fixed gear every day or every other (skidding a lot).
My advice would be BLB black mamba.
The downsize, this are made in London and the shipping from Brick Lane Bikes is 50 pounds. If you have any way to go around this expense, or if you can afford it, these are by far the best I've had.
Hope this helps.

If you are looking for a slightly larger city tire, specialized threshold 28c is great, super grippy and have never had a flat

This strategy of shills resurrecting zombies is pretty sucky.

Doesn't even shill well...you can get the same tire from wiggle and get free shipping in the process.
