What is coefficient of friction for tire under low pressure


Two bicycle tires are set rolling with the same initial speed of 3.80 m/s along a long, straight road, and the distance each travels before its speed is reduced by half is measured. One tire is inflated to a pressure of 40 {rm psi} and goes a distance of 17.4 m; the other is at 105 {rm psi} and goes a distance of 94.0 m. Assume that the net horizontal force is due to rolling friction only and take the free-fall acceleration to be g = 9.80 m/s^2. What is the coefficient of friction for the tire under low pressure?
