    I found an interesting review of a few summer tires which included a rolling resistance comparison. The article it came from is in German and the google translation is terrible. The table is mostly readable. Bremsen is braking, trocken is dry, rollwiderstand is RR

    Nokian H came out top of the bunch overall with middle of the road RR. Michelin Energy Saver came in second but had the lowest RR.

    Tested:Nokian H, Bridgestone Turanza ER 300, Dunlop Fast Response, Michelin Energy Saver, Vredestien HI-TRAC, Falken ZIEX ZE 912, and a few others.
