It is spec but for the last three years, IndyCar was running bespoke aero-kits for Chevy and Honda, each with their own peculiarities. The cars still have to be set up, with each team making different demands on tyres, according to the driver and aero-kit/engine combinations.
This year will be different, as they are using a universal kit but from reading the reports from Phoenix, the car's characteristics are completely different from last year and that will be a major factor regarding tyres.
