Were there any scores that can be compared between tire categories? I know most people looking primarily at LRR tires don't really care which "type" of all season tire they get, they're most interested in the efficiency.

Also, I would be interested in knowing how much of a hit you take when going to the Xi3 from a good LRR A/S tire. The Xi3 is what I was looking into for winter tires next year based on a previously good experience with the Xi2 on my previous car.
