LRR winter tires

Well, I'm thinking ahead a little bit, but winter will be coming sooner or later. So, I am looking for winter tires for the Prius. I've been looking at the Nokian tires and they all claim to be LRRs. The Hakkapeliita R's claim to be "Extremely low rolling resistance".

Does anyone have any experience with these tires?

Any other suggestions for winter tires?

I'm replacing a set of General Altimax Arctics. They are honestly a great winter tire. I've been very happy with them, and their price is quite reasonable. However, they aren't LRR and you can tell when you put them on or take them off.
