Low Rolling Resistance. It's not (yet) a consistently-recognized characteristic of a tire, but it's getting there. Tire Rack, for instance, now does indicate whether the manufacturer classifies the tire as a LRR tire, on the spec page for the tire.
As I understand, there are SAE test protocols that define consistent procedures to measure a tire's rolling resistance. I look forward to the day when manufacturers offer up that data just like they do weight and revs/mile, etc.
