In a search for a source of Low Rolling Resistance tires, I came across the following website that I felt compelled to share. I apologize if this site has been mentioned before, but if it was I couldn't find it nor did I get a hit on Priuschat when I entered the search phrase: Low Rolling Resistance Tires. So, here goes:

Chew slowly and enjoy. Feel free to add to this list. Choice is a wonderful thing.

All the best,

Thanks for the article! A good read.

I'm due for new tires in about 16 months, so I'm not reading too much yet.

The greenseal report mentions Nokian NRT2. Nokian's current "3-season" tire is the i3, and it is also rated low rolling resistance. One source for them is the tirefactory group buy that I have promoted in the main forum here. Order by 31 October!

I have read that tires in the Michelin Energy series are also low rolling resistance.

Unfortunately that report is now very much out of date and there are some of those tires no longer available and other tires that were not reviewed.

It would be nice if they updated it annually at least.
