Answer:

The value is
$a_t = 2.42 \ m/s^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The radius of the tires is
$r = 0.22 \ m$

The angular acceleration is
$\alpha = 11.0 \ rad/s^2$

Generally the linear acceleration is mathematically represented as

$a_t = r * \alpha$

=>
a_t = 0.22 * 11

=>
$a_t = 2.42 \ m/s^2$
