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?
A good all-around balance of the 3 would make sense to me. I'm still looking for tires, need to have that issue resolved within the next few days as I'm still on my set of winter tires.
