Thats not correct, I'm afraid.
The tyres are changed anyway, yes, but in a completely different way. As I wrote before the equipment is completely different compared to BTCC, DTC and WTCC-teams.
The wheels are not the same, the base is the same but the wheels have been prepared for quicker fasteing. And as Bram says, the hubs are worked hard on.
As I've stated before the teams train for several hours per week, I tend to know as I work in one of the teams
