The green seal report is so old now that few of the tires on it are available anymore. I emailed them last week pleading to have them renew the report with reviews of current models. They thanked me for the suggestion and said they have no current plans to revisit the topic. There is nearly zero other info about LRR tires anywhere else that I can find, and that green seal report was the only one that reviewed specific tires. It should be a normal rating category like speed or load ratings IMO.

People seem to hate the dunlops at tire rack, but frankly I have had no problems with them as the oem tire. I have over 50k miles on them and they're definitely ready for replacement, but they have been good tires for me.
As I posted earlier... I own the HTR200. They are much better than OEM. Just make sure to own a winter set if you live in an area where there is a lot of snow.
