In comparison to what though? Obviously a summer performance tire is going to have the best dry grip, but has worse wet & snow grip. Every tire is a compromise is some way unfortunately. For everyday driving I bet most newer LRRs out there are as good as most season tires. I think older LRRs used to have worse traction, but the technology has really come a long way in the past 5-10 years. Plus, many OEM tires are already LRRs to get the car's EPA rating higher. I don't think the newer LRR tires are really not much of a compromise, but they probably are a little bit. So, for my daily drivers, they get LRR tires, but for my fun cars, they get sticky tires.
