They certainly are.
I put beaded Gatorskins on my fixed bike in October as I thought they'd be a good winter tyres. I got them very cheaply (from Ribble and a discount code) but I'm wishing I'd paid the extra for the Maxxis again. The tread gives better grip (while it lasts).
I don't share the emphatic hate of Gatorskins that some do. I think they're quite punctureproof, grip better than Vittoria training tyres in the wet and only every seem to cut up in the warm summer months.
