Marco Crow Posted June 7, 2017 Posted June 7, 2017 Hi guys and girls please advise if gatorskins 25c is my best option for a budget of R500 per tyre?
Aurora Posted June 7, 2017 Posted June 7, 2017 No ways, will never use another one.The sidewalls just tear and get never ending punctures. The R299 Vitoria Zaffiro tyres from CWC I find are much better value and bullet proof.

IceCreamMan Posted June 7, 2017 Posted June 7, 2017 CWC had GP4000Sii for R470 recently , that's the best value for money you will find at the moment. Gatorskins are fantastic tyres too, if training is more your goal buy these.
Veebee Posted June 7, 2017 Posted June 7, 2017 Gators seem to be holding up well for me. My Gp4000s has too many cuts already and they havent done more than a 1000km, and not much that one can do with expensive rubber. It will land in the bin.
Pall Catt Posted June 7, 2017 Posted June 7, 2017 What is supposed to be the difference between the Gatorskins and GP4000s?
shaper Posted June 7, 2017 Posted June 7, 2017 Have GP4000 on all my wheels, 23c on my training wheels, 25c on carbon 38mm race wheels and 25c on my TT wheels. I find them much better rolling than gatorskins
Marco Crow Posted June 7, 2017 Author Posted June 7, 2017 For the last four weeks i had 2 punctures and a side wall collapse with continental ultra race ??
Cyclewizz Posted June 7, 2017 Posted June 7, 2017 What is supposed to be the difference between the Gatorskins and GP4000s? Gatorskins are great training tyres, they made from harder rubber which prevents punctures.That being said the technology is outdated, the new improved Gators are called 4 Seasons.I did a trip with these from JHB - Durban and had no problems. THE GP4000 has softer rubber (Black Chilli) and roll much better than Gators but don't offer the same puncture resistance. I use these for races.
