What are some good options for LRR tires? I've seen the GY Fuel Max, but they aren't available in 14". Michelin Energy Savers seem to be unavailable as well. What other options should I look at?
Many insight owners are moving to Vredestein Quatracs. They're not marked as LRR, but the observed economy drop is minimal compared with the high watermark RE92s, they have a lot more grip in all conditions, and they're cheap. Not a perfect fuel record setting tire, but s great compromise.

Other than that, options are getting pretty slim.
