FWIW, Consumer Reports' chief of tire testing said at the 2010 ITEC that there is no particular correlation between rolling resistance and other tire performance values: traction, wear, handling, comfort, noise. And as the tires wear, the difference in rolling resistance among different tires decreases until when the tires are bald, there's almost no difference. All good to know.
Consumer reports tire tests are in their November issues, where they alternate among performance, performance all-season, regular tires, winter tires, and truck tires. CR is unique in always testing their tires against a reference tire, which takes out most of the environmental factors (temperature, humidity, condition of the track).
