Ok, I'll correct myself. The Bridgestone B381 listed above as the absolute best, still has a traction rating of A. It seems that traction ratings and rolling resistance aren't as correlated as I thought. I do notice that the low RR tires do seem to have a lower treadwear rating (ie they won't last nearly as long).

Also those ratings are not an industry standard. So one companies AA rating may only be another companies A rating, etc.. as always YMMV.
