Low Rolling Resistance selection option on tirerack.com

Hello -

When you use the "Shop By Size" option, you can turn on/off selection criteria in the left column. At the bottom there is an option to select based on Low Rolling Resistance :

Code:
Low Rolling Resistant (18)
- Include LRR Tires (76)
- Do Not Include LRR Tires (58)
- Show ONLY LRR Tires (18)
When I was looking, this narrowed down the selection from 76 to 18 tires. Too bad they don't carry Nokian.

I actually shot them an email recently about Nokians, and testing some LRR tires against non-LRR tires in terms of performance. I got a reply asking what particular size I'm looking for, and mentioned a few possible sizes, and that I'd like to know for future reference. No reply back yet.

Wooo thats awesome. Glad to hear that they've added this feature. I know I've called them a few times requesting LRR info. I guess I'm not the only one.
