Rolling resistance varies considerably. I don't have a good handle on winter tires, but the variation in regular all season tires is on the order of 50%.

Don't forget that the general rule is that tires with better RR are worse for traction and/or wear.
Nope same wind direction which was a 3 mph cross wind coming from the south

And yes I know the traction isn’t going to be as good. Wouldn’t take them out in a heavy snow storm or drive on ice.
