Great suggestion, but it might water down Coker's margins (due to royalties to GY) and not make it viable. Potentially lower volumes doesn't help that equation either.

There is a solution out there. It's going to take customer pressure (us) and Goodyear's acceptance of a changing marketplace to adopt it though.
