I just bought Conti Gators, 700x25c, in order to get better puncture
resistance. I got them based on a rave at the Harris Cyclery website;
plus, they were the first thing my LBS offered when I told them I didn't
like the ride of the Specialized Armadillos.
But now, doing a search on Roadbike Reviews and elsewhere, I find
opinion on them is decidedly mixed, with some people swearing by them
and others swearing at them. In particular, a lot of people claim
they're not puncture resistant at all. Any thoughts?
On a related note, is 1500 miles considered "a lot" of wear for a tire?
That's what I have on my Vittorias, which I'm replacing with the Gators.
