I would think driving around London is a lot different to driving overland to Poland and back.
I have used many different brands over the last 10 years on Fazers and drive in all sorts of conditions one or two up. Toured Ireland, England, Wales, France and Spain with my wife and full luggage and the tyre that lasted the longest in all that time was the PR3. I have worn out Metzlers M1 in as little as 1500 miles. :'( Mind you that included a track day :lol and a seriously fast trip back home from Kells International road races with 2 Gixer 1000s, an R1 and and a ZX10. (No they did not lose me)
The PR2 are cheaper to buy which is why couriers use them, but when the PR3 last longer they work out to be better value.
I was getting a maximum of 4000 miles out of the rear PR2 but over 6000 out of the PR3 in the above mixture of riding.
A big plus for the PR3 is that they have good grip from the off and heat up much faster than the PR2.
My two cents for what its worth
