Low rolling resistance tires are designed to reduce the energy loss as a tire rolls, decreasing the required rolling effort — and in the case of automotive applications, improving vehicle fuel efficiency as approximately 5–15% of the fuel consumed by a typical gas car may be used to overcome rolling resistance.
“The low rolling resistance tire market is booming as consumers and manufacturers prioritize fuel efficiency and sustainability. With a significant CAGR and growing demand from the automotive sector, these tires are set to play a crucial role in reducing fuel consumption and environmental impact.” - says Nikhil Kaitwade, Associate Vice President at Future Market Insights (FMI).
In a non-scientific study (I looked at tires available from a national chain that fit my car), 85 percent of LRR tires had an “A” rating for traction, compared to 87 percent of Non-LRR tires.
Rolling resistance, sometimes called rolling friction or rolling drag, is the force resisting the motion when a body (such as a ball, tire, or wheel) rolls on a surface. It is mainly caused by non-elastic effects; that is, not all the energy needed for deformation (or movement) of the wheel, roadbed, etc., is recovered when the pressure is removed.

A cross-section of a tire. Number 12 indicates the radial ply. Numbers 14 and 16 are bias plies. A radial tire (more properly, a radial-ply tire) is a particular design of vehicular tire. In this design, the cord plies are arranged at 90 degrees to the direction of travel, or radially (from the center of the tire).
