Probably not, in all honesty. I suspect my Kumho summer tires are not as smooth rolling as a good Michelin or Continental LRR tire.
The Kumhos were tagged as "LRR" by TireRack but I don't know of an international standard for an LRR tire, not even a US standard. I think they roll more smoothly than most but not up there with the best. So the Michelin winter tires could match them as Michelin truly does know how to make an excellent LRR tire.
