Wow, Bob, that's a fantastic idea! I can see it! You put the tire on a loose wheel, pump it up to pressure, then measure how high it bounces when you drop in on a smooth concrete surface! Or, see how the bounce changes with the kind of pavement. Lots of possibilities here.
Someone should sit down and work out the math, to see how you convert from bounce to Crr.
I am tied in with the local science fair guy at the high school. I will pass the word. This would be a terrific science fair project. But, don't let me hold back anybody else that wants to experiment.
