it would be interesting to see some tests on LRR vs standard at varying pressures.

example:
standard tyre at 44psi versus LRR at oem psi or 32psi
standard tyre at 44psi vs LRR at 44psi
standard tyre at 32psi vs LRR at 44psi

i saw a commercial the other day for LRR tyres. the tyre maker said they provide UP TO a 1% increase in mpg's.

seems to me that the little metro guy who started this website did a tyre pressure-economy test and got a larger then 1% increase in fuel economy simply by upping the pressure of his non LRR tyres. maybe i got his figures wrong, though.
