Default pro race 3 tyres

Hi
Are pro race 3's any better than pro race 2's as I have just put them on my race bike but not used them yet

If you really, really believe that they will hold better, roll faster and last longer, then yes.
I have been using them for a time now and can honestly say I can't tell any difference.
I have used both and both work well for me. Maybe someone more sensitive and in touch with the road may have a different experience.
They are good tires in my opinion.

No difference that I can tell. I'd say ride the ones you have until they're done.

I don't like them, coz they feel soft, squishy and a bit sluiggish/dead, but they have very good grip.

The 'internet consensus' is that they cut and puncture easy, and the sidewalls are easily damaged. My anecdotal evidence is that they are a bit crap with punctures, but I've had no sidewall damage.

I won't be buying any more in the near future.

just as much difference as there is between the new and improved fairy washing up liquid in the shops now as compared to its predecessor!

they are a good tyre, but some of the colour schemes are a bit mad imo
