A Nissan forum I belong to has a tire vendor who is more than willing to sell me tires 😉 but I'd like to better understand my options.

Tire Rack and Discount Tires sites don't really mention LRR or energy efficiency that I've seen (maybe they have different menus on their desktop sites. Or I'm blind. Or both.)

Any tires y'all could recommend for a 2000 Nissan Frontier XE V6 4x4?

Thanks!
Tire Rack changed the way they designation LRR tires. They use "Eco Focus", which implies a bit more than just better RR. The words after "Eco Focus" is the name the tire manufacturer uses to describe what that feature is.

Looks like Tire Rack only has two tires that use those words - both Hankook
