Re: Coker Redlines/Warrior Brand?

["Philip E. Barnes" <peb3@cornell.edu>]

If Coker owns the molds for the redline tires, it most likely means that
Michelin would have scrapped them out. Michelin maintains them for as long
as they will produce an acceptable tire and makes tires on order from
Coker. Coker in turn pays Michelin for their services in making the tires.

This sort of arrangement is quite common in industry. Companies will own
all the tooling for a product and have a contractor do the actual
production work at their facility.
