    Folks,

    I am currently using the Hutchinson Nitro tyres and was looking for faster and more puncture proof tyres. I heard the Gatorskin 4 seasons are good. Any feedback on them or can anyone suggest an alternative?

    Always found the gatorskins quiet slippy in the wet..and not that puncture proof. Have been using schwalbe duranos (folding) for a couple of years, and find them very good.

    No such tyre.

    Continental Grand Prix 4-Season is one tyre.
    Continental GatorSkin is another.

    The Conti 4 seasons have poor grip in the wet, I prefer Conti gp4000s.
