After traveling 200 m, a car tire's rotation has increased from 3.5 rev/s to 6.0 rev/s. What was the tire's angular acceleration in rad/s^2? Can I just calculate without information of the tire's size?

You need either the tire's radius or the time it takes for the car to travel the 200 meters. Are you sure there isn't some other information provided?
