4 tires making rolling resistance for a total of 100%... remove 1/4 of the tires, you remove 1/4 of the rolling resistance (in stupid math).

If you really want to get technical, you're not really losing 25%, because you're now placing more weight on one tire. You might in actuality lose only 20%, but it's still significant.
