Hi Lloyd, I have used two sets of LRR tires; one on my ICE (2000 Mazda 626) and one on my EV conversion (1993 Honda del Sol).
I put Michelin Energy Saver Max A/S on my Mazda. I really like those tires. They have been on several years and still roll great. The difference in mileage between the winter tires (not LRR) and summer tires is striking. About 5 mpg difference on the Mazda. When I got tires for the EV, the Michelins were not available on the combination of tire size and rim size I had. I could have bought different rims, but decided that wasn't worth it. I'm running Pirelli P6 All Season Ultra Low Rolling Resistance tires on the EV. They are working ok, but I think I like the Energy Saver Max tires better. However, I don't have much hard data on the P6 tires. I fixed several other things on the car at the same time as the tires were installed. I don't have before and after like I do on the Michelins. The tires and other issues were present when I bought the car and I wanted them fixed quickly rather than one at a time as experiments.
