That's my understanding. Their vintage Michelin reissue tires are 
actually made by Michelin in France; Coker's own vintage style tires 
(which they call "Coker Classic") are made by Denman, which is somehow 
affiliated with Michelin. The bottom line is that if you order a set of 
XZX radials from Coker you're getting tires made by Michelin (and 
you're paying a lot for them).
