I have been wondering which would be better for fuel economy and safety, a LRR tire or a lighter tire? I have been looking into tires for my truck and I have found LRR tires are about 5 lb heavier than regular tires. I might be able to offset this additional weight by getting alloy/aluminum rims to replace the steel I currently have. Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks.
