If the tyres would have deterioared, it would have shown in his lap times, not in blowing up a tyre.
You can also clearly see that after the crash, the surface of the tyres (the areas that weren't affected by the crash) still look in pretty good shape.
This is clearly a structural problem and not a wear problem.
That no one came in during safetycar is logical. At that time no one knew that it could be a structural problem. Hindsight 20/20 is always so easy, but if the crashed car is still on the track, no one knows anything.
You have to take that into account.
Only after VER crashed, again without any reason, the notion came that it could be a structural problem.

Why would you keep applying pressure from the front with 6 laps left, a 5 or so second lead AND a tail gunner.
I'm sorry but this is a poor decision considering they had information on STRs tire failure earlier. If I'm the TP, I dial it back and cruise across the line.
