I use Bridgestone myself
...yep...that's what I was questioning....that someone who fits them all day but who have no experience in riding with those tyres as to have a credible opinion about them. His profession or skill is fitting them, not riding with them.
Ok, he might get a feedback from customers, but in this case I seriously doubt it very much if he had many couriers in for PR3s who then reverted back to PR2s the next time because the PR2s were a better performing tyre. That was the statement your tyre guy made and the only way he could have made it. Better priced tyre maybe...but thats about it. Just a quick glance on this thread from guys who used both will tell you how wrong your tyre guy is.....even if he does do it for a living. Just another example for me to take care that I shouldn't swallow everything that "professionals" tell me without questioning it.
