New LRR tires in the xb

First off...Hi everybody! Haven't posted on here in like 2 years! Well I am doing good doing a little light eco driving in my Xb but, mostly keeping mods to a minimum.

Anyways I failed inspection because of tires and an exhaust leak. So I figured this would be a good time to browse around and see what LRR tires are out there.

There isn't a whole lot and I would rather not wait a week to order online. Anyways, I did find some at pepboys online (free store pickup + 10% off). Ended up getting some Continental ProContact with EcoPlus

Ok my questions are...

Are LRR tires worth it? (I didn't think $80 a tire was too bad at all for brand name tires)

How much of an increase are LRR vs. standard all season tires?

Anybody else using Continental ProContact tires here?
