Not too many years ago there was about a 132-page special report on rolling resistance published online.
All-season LRR radials had the lowest drag.
Followed by 'touring' tires which had more.
And bringing up the rear were the 'performance' tires with the highest drag.
In a just world, California would have been able to require full disclosure by tire makers of specific rolling force coefficients for each make sold in the state. It would have helped the entire world.
Having not passed into law we're left with the equivalent of buying a home of known square-footage, however no disclosure requirement of whether or not there's any insulation in the walls or attic.
Shame.
