Nah cant do that, some bikes like the Ducati will favor a certain compound over the Honda and then each rider may like a different construction from everyone else. A supersoft compound may work perfectly for DeAngelis while his teammate can't get the hang of it at all.
Hopefully Bridgestone will continue coming up with different makes for each team but when they become the only maker they really don't have to try hard at all. They're the spec tire maker in F1 though and aside from lots of punctures they do pretty well.
For sure when the one make tire rule comes into effect you will see less of a tumbling times effect where the lap records are reset at every track, every year by quite a margin.
Hopefully it will bring the racers all closer together as it was designed to do.
