A lot of tire manufacturers have been coming out with more LRR tires lately.

Here are a quick few off of tirerack.com

Michelin Energy MXV4 S8
Pirelli P6 Four Seasons
Goodyear Assurance Fuel Max

Also, to lower rolling resistance further, you may consider a skinnier 205 tire. A small compromise in traction for a small decrease in rolling resistance.
