Several years ago there were 4 low resistant tires listed here. Does anyone
still have that list? My Toyota dealer has no idea what a low resistant
tire is. I gave the list to them back then. They said they had a better
tire. It lowered my average mileage 10 mpg. A month later I complained.
They changed them. It then lowered my mileage only 5 mpg. Of course they
lost the list. I'll be getting a new set soon somewhere but It won't be
from them. Help.

"low rolling resistance"

Any tire design is necessarily a "tradeoff" balance or properties. LRR
might mean that the tire won't last as long, etc.

They are usually rock-hard, last forever, but don't grip.
