I replaced my Dunlops with Continental ContiTouringContact CV95 - a "LRR" tire according to Continental's own literature. The whole C?95 line is (CH, CV, etc.). You'll find the CH on the GreanSeal report. I've really enjoyed them. However I went up to a 195/60R15 because I put on custom wheels at the same time (Kosei). I think the handling is profoundly better and the noise is marginally better. As for FE, I'm getting typical marks for this time of year. I won't know if the setup is any better until the summer. I feel pretty good saying it hasn't hurt in any way I can tell.

I knocked myself out over the research - there are very few LRR tires out there to choose from. Continental was the only one I could find that actually bragged about being LRR. Dunlop had their SP20's hidden away from mainstream media - I had to call the company to find out if they even made them and where I could get them. It's not a tire they seem to market to the general public. They didn't offer it in a 195/60/15 so they were out anyway. I also considered Michelin Energy series, but they were too heavy.

I'd warn about tire weight - there could be a 2-3 lb difference in some tires even though they are the same size. I won't start a whole "does 2 lbs of unsprung weight matter" debate. I was just surprised that in a 195/60/15 I found tires ranging from 18-21 lbs.
