That would certainly be the answer Rob. The only other option on this would be to find the maker and see if the molds are still around/available or for sale.
If this is an out of production model, maybe the tooling is still around.
We found this issue with the tires for the M274 Mechanical Mule; the molds were out there from the original maker who had no interest whatsoever in producing another run. There was such a demand from collectors that Coker Tire bought the original factory molds and then took pre-orders before they batched up a run. Since the inception, they have made several runs to keep the original style tires available to collectors.
