What tires are you guys running? Do you guys know of any good LRR tires that are currently available?

Tirerack has two options from Kumho. I haven't gone through many manufacturer's sites, but plan on doing some more digging. I see Michelin (who makes my beloved energy saver tire) doesn't even make 155/80-13s...

If we can not find any tires that claim to be LRR, is there any way of identifying tires that have better rolling resistance than others?
Michelin used to make the XZX radial in that size. I hated those tires. When I got my second diesel VW Rabbit, it had 175/70R13s which rode better. There were also more choices available. True, they probably had more rolling resistance, but back then I really didn't care. They are about the same height. The hot setup was 185/60R14s...just a teeny bit shorter, but did they handle good! Sorry about the sidebar.
