[s-cars] Need one Dunlop

[LL - NY]

Lee autocrosses those tires.  Sidewalls flex. Alot. Worse so, (and heavily
loaded if on course, particularly if they are grippy tires like the Z1 SS)
if the tires are being worked hard.  I doubt a patch could safely hold, AND
it would be difficult (without a destructive investigation, which negates
the purpose) to determine the integrity of the sidewall belts from a
sidewall puncture. Not worth the risk, IMHO.
