Hey all, I am about to buy tires, but am confused by many, many LRR tire reviews and reports. I checked Wiki, the Green Seal report, the "Top 5 most fuel efficient tires (Lowest Rolling resistance: LRR)" thread, and many other threads/reviews.... I just ended up confused. I like the idea of the B381- BUT that was an old report and do not know if it is still valid with new tires and technologies.... I also haven't heard them mentioned in recent threads anymore. Any thoughts? Like someone said, I will probably have whichever tires for a while, and want the best LRR/tradeoff(lifetime, traction etc..) for now.... Thanks!
