They may not manufacture the tire but some have their name on them, so they should be responsible for quality control.
Not sure if I am misunderstanding the comments on this topic but from what I have seen, Coker does claim to make it’s own tires. A Google search (Does Coker make their own tires?) reveals several references to that online (below), together with references to them having acquired many original molds to make the older style tires for antique cars, as well as having designed and constructed many new molds for the purpose. That said, I have many cars in my collection with Cokers on them and from my experience, they are more about the correct look than great performance (I have had several balancing issues with them over the years).
