I found these online at tiredeals4less and they are comparable to others as far as price goes $101 + shipping but I haven't been able to confirm if they are "low rolling resistance" tires or not and if so what their LRR factor is.

The models we (Green Seal's "Green Report") tested had rolling resistance coefficients ranging from 0.0062 to 0.0152. We recommend models with an RRC of 0.0105 or less, recognizing that low values are somewhat more difficult to achieve on larger, heavier tires than on smaller, lighter weight models.
The Toyo's on my HiHy aren't listed anywhere on the Toyo website. They're Open Country A20 with ratings of 300 treadlife, A temp, A traction. Even TireRack.com shows a different tire from Bridgestone as the OEM tire.
