I am not confident, sadly. A year or so ago I contacted Goodyear about re-starting manufacturing for the Dunlop CR311 tarmac rally tyres which were very good and very popular (Goodyear having taken over Dunlop in Europe) but I was told that, even though they still had the moulds, it was not worth their while and the business case did not stack up as the volumes were so (relatively) low and other companies could make similar tyres cheaper.
I hope I am wrong and I hope that those others companies continue to make those similar tyres!
