If you read all the other threads you should know that Gatorskins suck. They are only 'just okay' at flat prevention and their sidewalls are made of a material that is about as puncture resistant as jello. They are super-tight on most rims so good luck if, or should I say
when you need to get them off to fix the inevitable flat. I've snapped plastic levers and bent metal ones. For $50/tire you can do a lot better.
