Wouldn't the most cost effective solution be to get LRR tires and craigslist the existing ones? Some quick math tells me I would be likely to save between $50 and $225 per year, with ~$70 being most likely.

Yes, those definitely jumped out. Cheap, tagged as LRR, good user reviews. They are front runners at the moment. I would like Crr numbers but couldn't find anything.
I dug up some comparison info though. Anyone able to give me a guess based on this?

We gain about 2 mpg after installing these tires in our 2008 Honda Civic Hybrid. The tires are so quiet in all road condition comparing to the previous stock & BF Goodrich tires.

The old set was a replacement for OEM Bridgestone RE92 LRR tires that ----ED and wore out in 25k miles. They rode great, lasted 60k miles, and only reduced my MPG by 10%. I expected to recover some of that MPG loss using these new LRR tires. However, my results were exactly the opposite. They reduced mileage by an additional 5%, or about 15% over my OEM tires.

My 2010 Prius with these Kuhmos had no change in MPG from the OEMs.
