This is true.
Before Pirelli got the contract, Michelin had suggested to the FIA that it would be a good idea to have two or more tyre manufacturers doing the opposite of what Pirelli are doing. That is, make tyres that last for as long as possible with tyre constructor points given to whichever tyre was changed less often by each team/car/driver throughout the season.
If you wanted to hear about nothing but tyres, that was surely the best way to go.
