Here is a list of Consumer Report's tires that achieved their best rolling resistance rating. The tires at the top of the list are rated higher overall.

All Season

Michelin Harmony
Toyo 800 Ultra

Glad to see my General Exclaim UHPs got on the list this year (they were brand new last year).


Here are the light duty tires CR has listed as achieving their best rolling resistance rating. Again, higher overall rated tires are closer to the top of the list.
