Thanks Brad

The list included with that article is also from 2003.
I'm not busting your chops or anything, just disappointed.
It still seems to me that there should be a newer list or
some indicators on the tires or from the manufacturers
on the rolling resistance.
Or at least whether the tire qualifies a LRR.

good news, as of next month California is implementing mandatory LRR ratings for tires,
so that pretty much means the rest of the country will get that love as well..

From the looks of it a winter tire made it into #6
Here's a recent article on the issue. Looks like the government is going to get involved in rating LRRT's.

As for tires for MN winters.. I don't run winter snow tires ever , just a decent set of all season's do fine even on my truck.. biggest tip to driving in snow and ice.. SLOW DOWN.. and learn how to fix any slips that happen and make it a habit reaction instead of a knee jerk reaction.

Lived in MN all my life.. its funny, even Minnesotans every year forget how to drive in the snow and ice come the first snow fall .. cars in ditches every where.. I don't get it .. its like in 6 months they forget what snow is/or was, now if the plows arn't out then having snow tires may be some help..

In Mn here they put so much salt on the roads to kill any ice that forms.. the winter roads are pretty decent.. especially if your in a large city.. Im in rural MN so we don't always get the plows out before we venture out.. but i don't use snow tires just all seasons
