Either they sell enough at a high enough margin to recover their tooling
expense plus some operations profit or that tire will just go away. Like
anything else.

Obviously, Rene Herse Inc. does not make any parts of the tire. I
suspect Jan Heine and crew select from a menu of choices regarding
beads, fabrics, perhaps adhesives and whatever else matters regarding
the casing. I wonder exactly how those factors differ from other tires -
especially the Paselas that I usually use.

I imagine the recipe for tread rubber is also pretty much a menu choice,
affecting longevity vs. traction and/or other factors. It sounds like he
gets to choose the tread design, so effectively the design of the mold
for the tread rubber, which I suppose will be used only for his brand.
That cost has to be amortized over the total sales of that model of tire.

So, yeah, pretty much like how most everything else comes to market,
so why does the marketing of this tire need your speculative analysis?
