Hey guys, I was reading the discussion on the Conti Ultra Gatorskins, and wondered if anyone had any experience with this tire (as to true size and ride). I'm a recent convert to 25mm tires, but my Conti Grand Prix 25s are not much of a step up from the Michs' I was riding sizewise. These Hutchinson's are such a good deal (<$20) and the handful of reviews I could find were very positive, but also there were only a few of them. Anyone have experience with these tires?

I've ridden the fusion in 23 size. It's more like 22mm wide, so i'd assume
the 25's are also slightly undersized. The casing feels pretty much the same
as a michelin pro race, they're nice feeling tires. The LD's have a harder
tread compound for more km's, but i still found they wore rather quickly.
No flats, but then i've only rarely gotten a flat.
