My understanding is that LRR is like low fat. In other words its not an absolute value of a particular rolling resistance but rather a reduction of something like 30% from the Non LRR tire. I have looked and have not been able3 to find absolute numbers. Have fun, Rick
LRR Tires, questions
Yes, there are numerous threads discussing different tire sizes and models. I have even done my own experimenting, with mixed results to say the least. I have decent knowledge of tires in general.
My questions are: (finally)
What is a Low Rolling Resistance Tire? At what threshold of rolling resistance is a tire now deemed LRR?
Is there any source that shows the rolling resistance of current tires?

I used some 145/80 Goodyear's for about 1000 miles. (I thought they would help considering the smaller patch in contact with the pavement). The taller tires helped the ride a bit and they didn't follow groved pavement as bad but they weren't as good as the bridgestones for mpg. Have fun, Rick
