I wouldn't compare an LRR tire with the cheapest available tire in that size, any more than I'd compare any other tire with the cheapest available in that size. A few years ago I was looking up tires for someone and the cheapest available from my vendor were a brand called Blue Streak. I googled them and their website said they were the finest third tier market segment tire available. I wouldn't drive that (and I didn't quote it). The $143 each I paid for the Asuurance Fuel Maxes isn't that bad compared to the $116 each I had paid for the Kumhos that they replaced.

At almost 26,000 miles a year the LRR is going to save me a buck or two.
