Michelin worked to get the p2 tires up to par for imsa dpi. It wasn't just slap the existing compound on a car it fits. Michelin would still work with teams to make sure the tire works at what it's tasked with.
I don't know how Dunlop/Goodyear engineers would approach hypercar. The switch from Dunlop to gy was due to name recognition in various markets, but I never got the impression Dunlop rested on whatever was for sale. Who knows if the same will happen should they win the top class.
