After reading everything I could find here on Gassavers and what I could find else where I am still stumped on the LRR tires for my VX.

The tires tested with the "Excellent" rolling resistance rating in the "all-season" category, in order of best overall rating of other factors combined, with 80% as the top tested :
1. Michelin X Radial DT (only available to shopping club members, i.e. Costco, Sam's Club, etc.). Rating: 79%.
2. Michelin Agility Touring (Sold only at Sears). Rating: 62%.
3. Michelin Harmony. Rating: 61%.
4. Hankook Mileage Plus GT H707. Rating: 58%.
5. Kumho Touring 795 A/S. Rating: 57%.
6. Toyo 800 Ultra. Rating: 51%.
7. Sumitomo HTR T4. Rating: 44%
All models can be researched at TireRack.com or similar sites to get a feel for performance. It's the motherlode! Let me know if other information is required, and I'll post it. Now I can buy new tires, finally...

The only ones that I can find close to my size (165/70/13) are these:

The Kumhos in a 155/80SR13
Set of 4 for about $160 to my door. Anyone have any reasons why I should not do that? For some reason I am just afraid to "pull the trigger" on this.
It would be alot easyer if LRR tires were advertised as LRR and you didnt have to have some magic powers to figure it out.
Thanks in advance for input.
