I have thought about contacting Coker to ask that very question, just haven't done it yet.

Just speculation on my part, but I wonder if part of the "cost" of Coker doing this would be licensing fees to Goodyear. Goodyear may have told Coker, “Sure, you can make a radial tire that looks like our billboards. Just send us a check for $ XXXXX……”

I know that Coker makes vintage Firestone radials, but I doubt it was something done out of the blue without some financial agreement or royalties. I haven’t checked the Coker site recently to see if they make other Goodyears, so like I say, I’m just speculating here. But I agree, that would be the ticket.
