First, understand that there is a technology triangle involving Rolling resistance, Traction (especially wet traction), and treadwear. Any improvements in one area means sacrifices in the others.
Second, you have to be aware that the term "LRR" is a relative term. It means "this tire has better RR than other tires with the same treadwear and traction properties.
Having said that, you have a decision to make. Do you want good RR or do you want good traction, or do you want good treadwear - or do you want a good balance of the 3?
