The problem is that extremely low RR tires tires also don't have great traction and / or wear life. This is one of the reasons one hears lots of complaints about these properties on tires supplied to new vehicles. It is commonly thought the cost is what is driving this, but that is not the case. It's this technology triangle.

Hello, Racer,
I think I will try logic, and you point out the errors--
1. Low rolling resistance tires never wear well.
2. Tires with hard tread material always wear well.
3. Therefore low rolling resistance tires never have hard tread material.
What do you think?
