Answer

A matched-pair design will provide the engineer data to analyze the efficiency of this tire design.

Work Step by Step

In this matched-pair design, an engineer can get the braking distance for both the designs. He can easily provide his company with a valid proof to get his tire into production. The engineer should convince his tire company to purchase some cars, and then he should apply his new tire design in the car. To determine that his new tire design reduces the braking distance, he should drive a car accelerated to 60 miles per hour and then apply brakes, while measuring the braking distance. Then, he should repeat the procedure using radial tires on the car.
