I actually assumed he meant pot holes too ... at the end of the day regardless of if it has much actual difference when you hit a MASSIVE pot-hole (why did you do that anyway ), is that really a reason/selling point to buy a 70 section tyre?!!?

I think we all agree that the guy was just fobbing him off with some BS ... and the real reason was more underhanded than that (like he gets them cheaper).
