First: Thanks for the reply.
There are alternative ways for testing rolling resistance ...
Alternative Fuels Data Center: Low Rolling Resistance Tires
There are easier and harder ways. There are abbreviated and exhaustive ways.
I would make the point that usually, any data beats no data, especially if the testing source is making any pretense of being fair.
The benefit of this undertaking would be very large, and is not anything that would have to be accomplished all at once.
And if we don't have enough machines for testing? The people that make them will build more, assuming that building more is profitable for them.
I've been waiting for this data for almost 10 years. I just feel that we
must do better when it comes to generating it, and soon.
