Default LRR tires for ES hybrid?

When replacing tires on a Prius I previously owned, it was emphasized by Dealer to select tires with a Low Rolling Resistance rating, to maximize MPG. Is this true for the ESh? In the many tire discussion threads on this forum, I can’t find specific recommendation for hybrid tires. Is this a consideration, or do we replace with same tires as the non-hybrid?

LRR tires are for any vehicle, not specific for Hybrids, although car manufacturers will equip Hybrids with them to eke out additional mileage gains and get a better mileage number to sell their cars.
