I wonder if we could convince Coker Tire to reproduce the the Dunlop KT576 or any of the 350X/250R 20, 22 OHTSU 701 rears? I would think a tire company would benefit from making these tread patterns, Coker makes vintage tires , http://www.cokertire.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=trials Wonder how they were convinced to have these made? http://www.ombwarehouse.com/14x6-Rupp-Trials.html

If there's enough demand it might be possible. 200X tires would be nice too, but there is a tire really close to OEM for that.
I'll email them and see what they say.

Ya for the 1983-85 200X, there is a Cheng Shin , the 86-87 200x has the KT576 tread pattern and no one makes anything close to it. I sent them a long detailed msg also, maybe with enough emails we can atleast get some attention.

Here is a recent chat I had with Coker .. Richard: Hello, thank you for contacting Coker Tire. How can I help you?
steven: There is a tire that is very sought after but discontinued from honda, ohtsu and dunlop. the Dunlop 23x8-11 KT576 and OHTSU 23x8-11 P/V 101 tire. Would it be possible if COKER could reproduce this tire?
Richard: At this time we do not have the plans or molds available for the tire. You may try a search to see who currently owns the rights or molds and if they have a production date.
steven: The molds have been lost or destoyed, this is coming from Dunlop . IF I can give you a NEW OLD STOCK tire can it be reproduced? I seen COKER had reproed the rupp tire
Richard: you can email me information and I can pass it along to production. Going with a new tire it would require not only molds and testing but legal rights of ownership and possible royalties if it is available by original owners to be produced. It may be a few years if it can be done. richards@coker.com

While they are talking to Honda about the Ohtsu maybe they can ask for the rights to the 70-74 US 90 tires.
