>Low rolling resistance tires number one problem has been bad road comfort.
Which surprises me. I fitted low rolling resistance tyres to my bike and experienced improvements in ride comfort, traction, and significantly reduced rolling resistance (tire wear was increased though as these are technically "racing" tyres). When it is your legs powering the vehicle you can really feel all this. On bikes they achieve the improvements with suppler casing (which increases ride comfort) and softer/suppler rubber (which increases traction and ride comfort but decreases tire life).
(And why is it that people assume that low rolling resistance has anything to do with the coefficient of friction and traction?)
