It's worth pointing out that these two are the companies making LRR tires that get the best LRR ratings in the EU tire rating system. But right there alongside them in Europe is a Nokian LRR tire. All the others pale in comparison. I think people in the USA interested in LRR tires might wanna experiment with Nokians when/if the price is right relative to the better known Bridgestones and Michelins. Currently I am on a used pair of old Firestone LRRs and a pair of non-name, non LRR tires. They came with my 12 lb MINI rims with a lot of tread left. So I am running them out. Better tires would be awesome, but it ain't green or economical to trash perfectly good tires.
