First there was GatorSkin, a remarkably durable tire in its own right. Then came Ultra GatorSkin. Now, Continental takes durability beyond the limits with the GatorHardshell Road Tire. Like the Ultra GatorSkin, the Gator HardShell tire balances great ride characteristics with long life--and at an affordable price. The Continental GatorHardshell road tire features the bead-to-bead protection of DuraSkin, PLUS a Hardshell casing and extra-wide PolyX breaker. The result is a super-durable road tire that's about as puncture-resistant as a tire can get. A super long-wearing tire that resists punctures and sidewall cuts Casing reinforced with DuraSkin and Hardshell-anti-cut sidewalls for extra protection Smooth-rolling center tread with shoulders optimized for cornering traction Extra-wide PolyX breaker covers tread from shoulder-to-shoulder, providing enhanced puncture-resistance
