I tend to stay away from the LRR tire hype. Is it really economical to spend extra money on a tire that adds 5% to your fuel economy? The additional cost that comes with most LRR tires, and the reduced performance and tread life all but doom these tires in my opinion.
Pick a tire that has a long lifespan, 60,000+ miles. Go to tirerack.com and read the reviews. Pick a tire that will do what you need it to do, in the conditions that you drive in.
I chose the Kumho Solus KR21's. Not only did I get them at a great price, they are rated at 80,000 miles. If you pick a set of LRR tires that last 40,000 miles you paid more than me, plus you will need to buy 2 sets in the same time I bought 1. There is no way the 5% fuel savings is going to make up for that price difference.
