Choosing Low Rolling Resistance Tires

Hey all,

I could use some help in choosing my new tires. I was just checking out TireRack's site to get some specs and general info. I just specified a search for LRR tires in my size (185/65-R14). If any of you have suggestions as to what to get, or other tires not listed here, please speak up.

I've tried to list all of the specs which I think are relevant to rolling resistance and here's what I've got:
