The whole tyre/pitstop thing is micro management in a poor attempt to rescue the series from imploding. Open the regs up and this might encourage some real competition. I know, make four tyre stops and the pit crew is only allowed to be two people using wheel braces and no centre lock wheels. At least there would be some entertainment in the pits and the driver could have a rest break and chat with the engineer while he is waiting. The idea has about as much merit as any other that Bernie has created.
