Right! You can save yourself some time by going to the tire screen (F5) and
hitting enter to turn off all tire changes. The crew will then change only
the damaged tire and do whatever work is necessary to make the car
driveable. You can then pull out of the pits, come back around, and do the
full 4-tire change, get more damage repaired, etc.
If you do get 4 tires changed on the first stop, and elect to come back in
to get damage fixed on the next lap, make sure to change the F5 screen so
that the crew doesn't waste time changing all 4 tires again.
