Thumbs up Goodyear Blue Streak Dragway Special Slicks

Does anyone know if the Goodyear Blue Streak Dragway Special Slick 9.00/9.50-15 tire is being manufactured?

Very nice tire...!!! This might be an option if I can not find an original set. You would think the vintage Goodyear Blue Streak Dragway Special slicks would be available.

I think the A990 is a reference to the early Mopar Factory Lightweight Super Stock cars.
These DO say "Dragway Stock" on the sidewall and after zooming in on the pics they are indeed 7.60-15
