Here's the way this works:

When it comes to tires, there is a HUGE!!! range of rolling resistance WITHIN a given size - on the order of 60%. Time spent carefully selecting tires (meaning make and model) that fit your needs pays benefits.

By comparison, tire size by itself has a very small difference in RR - on the order of single digit percentage. So one would do well to research the tire (meanng make and model) rather than size.
