LFGSSers dont let LFGSSers ride gatorskins. You will die on corners, but the paramedics will appreciate your intact tyres whilst youre being whisked to A&E in an ambulance in December.
I actually think tubeless is at it's best in the commuter scenario. Larger tyres, weight doesn't matter, typical spiky glass London roads, and you can always get to work on time, even if you puncture. Personal experience speaking.

I meant the current Gator Hardshell, not the older Gatorskins... I find them fine in the wet; obvs not as good as GP5000 et al, but a damn sight more confidence inspiring than Marathons.
and while I will accept the inevitable suggestions to HTFU, a tyre seating tool is a great, great addition to your kit...
