I realize it's going to vary alot by tire and size, I just looked at 175/70 R13 tires, a common size for Honda civics and the LRR tires are $52 each and the lowest priced tires are $45 each... that right there is a no brainer, now the question is, if you can easily convince the average person on the street to get LRR tires based off simple math of "you will save $xxx over the life, or $.XX per mile" my rough figures showed one cent per mile... penny per mile is not alot but average person drives 25 miles or so per day, $1.75 per week, it adds up!
