First, the term LRR is a relative term. It means better RR than tires with similar wear and traction properties. You need to be very careful when comparing tires, because LRR tires don't necessarily have better RR than non-LRR tires.
Ya' see, there is a 3 way technology triangle involving treadwear, traction and rolling resistance. Improvements in one area come at the expense of one or both of the other areas. You have to decide what compromise works for you.
