Interested in the SE if it isn ' t spoken for . What ' s the extent of the damage ? From the photos it looks to be in pretty good condition . <| sep |> Lightweight is a good thing . Heavy is a bad thing in tyres . You can still have lightweight tyres with decent puncture protection and without having the deadly wet grip admittedly referring to them as even having wet grip is probably an oxymoron of gatorskins . b i k e r e v i e w s c o mparecontinentalgatorskin 2015 vsmichelinpro 4 endurancev 22015 The real world figures show the puncture protection slightly less on the tread still sufficient to shrug off many potential punctures and normally most things that will defeat that will also Alice straight through a gator such as arrowhead flints , big thorns etc . They also feature fractionally higher sidewall protection . Overall I ' d take the pro 4 endurance 7 days a week . Edit personally I ' d buy conti 4 seasons and do for winter tyres
