The P Zero Trofeo R tire was chosen for this collaboration. Pirelli's best performing track tire designed for the road as well.

 

The Trofeo R has been further refined in a joint effort by Pirelli and McLaren to meet the high-performance requirements of this car, following intensive work by Pirelli's renowned research and development division.

 

For drivers who are less used to using their cars on the track, Pirelli P Zero tires are also available.

 

Fast lap times with perfect safety

 

The new McLaren 765LT surprises with a 765 horsepower engine, which generates 800 Nm of torque for maximum performance, as well as aerodynamics that places a lot of load on the custom-made P Zero Trofeo R tires.

 

To comply with McLaren's instructions to build a custom tire for the 765LT, Pirelli engineers worked on the structure and profile, increasing the contact surface to generate more grip and improve traction, particularly in dry weather. Another key element in achieving McLaren's goals was the tread pattern compound.

 

The design of the tread pattern has been created to ensure the best possible grip on the road, both on straights and curves, reducing stopping distances and maximizing lateral grip. All of this added tire performance, coupled with the innovative capabilities of the new 765LT, have allowed the car to go around a circuit faster than any other car ever produced.

 

Pirelli and McLaren

 

The new P Zero Trofeo R created for the McLaren 765LT represents the latest tire born out of the long collaboration between Pirelli and McLaren, which also builds on the great lessons learned from motorsport by both companies.

 

Each vehicle leaves the McLaren production facility with its own Pirelli tire tailor-made for that particular car, distinguished by a distinctive "MC" marking on the sidewall.

 

Some of these tires are additionally equipped with other Pirelli technologies, such as PNCS (Pirelli Noise Cancellation System), which guarantees maximum acoustic comfort inside the car.
