Practically speaking I don't think so. Even tire temperature isn't ideal; it's a guide, but it's really the clock that decides. If you have nearly all the data for a car you can also use a vehicle simulator, but in practice only manufactures really do that.

For mortals, you mean a cheater method, like durometer? Don't think so. If you can get data from one of these, then yes:
But you can't, or it's very difficult. These machines come in various sizes/ flavors up to stories tall, and manufactures use data from them to design their suspensions, etc. This data is extremely closely held, and you'll rarely find any current applicable data in the wild. You can however often find generic models and perhaps tweak it with specific testing, such as:

What are you trying to do, chose between different tires, or?
