The thing with the tire change is not just timing, it's also racing strategy. If you pit at the start of the race you haven't really changed your tires at all, however if you do start burning your tires more meaning you may want to pit in the middle / end to give yourself new tires and a fresh run. The tire change stop would also increase the pit speed to as long as it would be if you were doing 50 up to the end of the pit road pretty much.
It seemed to work in a lot of leagues I've seen where half the field pits at the start, the others go racing on til they think they have a good lead and then they pit near the end only to have the field catch up again for some real close racing.
