Continental Gatorskin 650c Wire Tire Keep Rolling, Whatever the Road Throws Riders on smaller-wheeled frames who still log serious miles need a training and commuting tire that holds up through glass, gravel, and road debris without leaving them on the side of the road. The Gatorskin is exactly that tire. A carbon-black tread compound prioritizes long wear and all-condition grip over outright speed, and a three-layer protection system covers both the tread and the sidewall so a sharp edge has to work hard to get through. The wire bead keeps the price of entry low and the tire firmly mounted, even at high pressure. Features Carbon-black tread compound optimized for high mileage and consistent grip in wet or dry conditions Poly X Breaker tightly cross-woven polyester fiber belt resists punctures through the tread without adding rolling resistance Dura Skin sidewall protection polyamide mesh layer defends against sidewall cuts and abrasion Tread and sidewall flat protection dual-zone coverage for all-around durability on rough roads 180 TPI casing high thread-count construction for a supple, road-appropriate ride feel despite the protective build Wire bead clincher secure, high-pressure fit with a 120 PSI max rating Specifications Size650c (571 ISO)Width(s)23mm Compound Carbon-black Protection Dura Skin sidewall, Poly X Breaker tread belt TPI180Bead Wire Type Clincher Tubeless Compatible No Conditions Road, all-weather Weight275g Intended Use Road, Commuting | Continental | Gatorskin 650C Wire Tire 650Cx23 Polyx Breaker | Polyester
