Can't argue with him as he supplies most of the couriers in London
Well no offence, to me that is a hollow argument. All your supplier proves (unless he uses them himself) from the viewpoint of being a supplier is that it is a better seller to a specific group of rider (courier) where cost would be a critical factor. Better sales doesn't mean it is a better tyre as you supplier state.
I used all of the Pilots over a 10 year period and speak from a viewpoint of experience. The PR3 has better grip and a small bit more longitivity over the PR2, so it is a better tyre IMO as performance goes. The PR2 is selling like hot cakes to couriers because they are still a damn good tyre and have dropped in price due the introduction of the PR3. But as I said, sales (especially to a group of people were cost is paramount) doesn't equate that it is a better tyre.
