Rolling Resistance

[mikek753]

Hello,

Where I can get "rolling resistance" numbers to be able compare diff tires.

I know that less is better, but where to get those numbers?

tiresrack doesn't have those numbers :-(

thanks

I don't know any website that rates rolling resistance. So you have to go largely by the tiremakers claims or you can check to see what kinds of tires car makers install on their most fuel efficient models like the Toyota Prius / Honda Civic Hybrid, etc.

Two tires which are well known to have low rolling resistance are the Michelin MXV4-Plus and Goodyear Viva 2 (the latter is available only at Walmart) I've had considerable experience with both these tires and I'd rate the Michelin better for highway directional stability, a vibration free highway ride and wet weather traction and the Goodyears a bit better for low noise and road bump absorption. The Goodyears are also half as expensive as the Michelins.

Here is a write up about rolling resistance, but your right TR does not have specifics on each tire.
