We're off topic as usual but since we're here...
One of the worst aspects of spec tyres generally, IMO, is they tend to encourage the use of compulsory pit stops, which are obviously nonsense and a waste of resources. The only way spec tyres get talked about is if teams have to come in and change them. And then you get compulsory pit stop windows, which are also ridiculous from a pure racing point of view.
This is less of an issue in endurance racing, of course, because the races are long enough for tyre changes to actually be required to go the distance.
A bugbear of mine...
