M4R is a proprietary extension of the Apple® file exclusively for use as a ring tone for iPhone®. Like other similar files such as M4A and MP4, it is a high quality, compressed audio file.

Therefore, M4A files are easier to convert to M4R files because they are already high quality, compressed audio files.
