The only thing that changes with regard to the tyres is the compounds taken to each race. These are tyres that all of the teams will have used at each of the three pre-season tests. If they haven't got a clue which tyre is doing what and why during those pre-season tests, then they shouldn't be in F1.

Obvious conclusions drawn so far are that the tyres have a wider operating range and degrade a bit more than last seasons tyres did, which is exactly what Pirelli and the teams said they would do after trialing them during free practice in Brazil.
