Yeah, I had GLRs some years back, and I can't disagree with that. They rolled and rolled, but kind of sucked in most other characteristics. They were indeed slippery, and were by a large margin the noisiest tires I've ever owned. I don't recall how they were for tread wear, but I was glad to be rid of them when they wore out. The Nokian WRs (my first set, made in Finland) were MUCH better for noise and handling, with only a small rolling resistance penalty. Nokian WRG2s were also quite good, but were made in Russia, which to me was a negative. So then I tried .... Continental Pure Contacts, which had a bit more rolling resistance, with little handling difference that I could discern, and MUCH longer tread wear. They cost less than Nokians, and weren't made in Russia. Conti True Contacts were a further downgrade in LRR, and soured me a bit on Continentals. The determination of which of these, if any, is made in a Leaf size will be left as an exercise for the reader.
