In Europe they are.
That's how I was able to partially decipher what tire goes where in respect to LRR.
Well they give a chart for RR, something to the effect of "average, good, best" with a matching color code.
Not a numeric value but that will get you in the right neighborhood at least and keep you from being totally lost like I was.
Using the European guide I was able to determine that the Yokohama economy tires are excellent tires for the money every which way but RR.
Turns out their all economy tires are only about average RR.
In a gasoline powered vehicle they are the superior tire all around.
But in an electric vehicle it's all about range. I will pay up to $40 more per tire for a tire that just gets the best RR.
5 or 4 more miles of range on a car that only has about 90 miles of range on its best day is a pretty big deal.
