Like I said, there aren't too many details about the testing procedure, so I'm guessing this means some kind of zigzag-shaped driving course.

No. At first I assumed that each tire was at the door sticker suggested pressure, but there was a comment that more or less stated that

The higher pressure, which reduces rolling resistance, also reduces comfort. Of the tested tires, Goodyear had the best ride comfort.

This would imply that the LRR's had a higher pressure than the standard tires. This would be weird, as I haven't seen LRR tires that have higher max sidewall pressure than similar non-LRR tires of the same size. I'd like to see a test of the standard tire with higher pressure, then not only would its RR be lower, but it would also allow a high aquaplaning speed and shorter braking distance (see
"Inflation pressure does not affect grip": Autospeed article), making it compareable to the LRR's.
