It's pretty hard to compare tires without real data. Very few organizations actually test and document things like rolling resistance because of the work involved in it. I can see it being factored in to ratings sometime in the future. In the meantime, I'll rely on the good folks of the forum here for their experience when I go to replace my tires.
The right balance between a good, sturdy sidewall, traction, longevity, sound, efficiency, style etc. is different for everyone. I'll happily take a few percent of a hit on range for longevity and traction and even an amount for style. I don't want to take more than a 5% hit if I can help it.
Goodyear above has a UTQG of 580/A/B
Toyo AT3 EV has a UTQG of 600/A/B as does the non-EV version
Michelin Defender LTX M/S2 has a UTQG of 820/B/A
