McLaren 570 Tyres in Longridge | Hometyre Mobile Performance Tyre Fitting

From Mini to McLaren, any day out in the East Lancashire area can yield any number of different type of vehicles.

On this particular day, we had a customer call in during the morning hours as their McLaren had encountered a battle with a nail on its sidewall and lost. Amazingly, the Michelin in the unusual size of 285/35R20 was in stock so got the customer booked in for the afternoon!

Like most performance vehicles, this car had wider tyres on the rear to help cope with the increased power output. In addition to the off-set, the McLaren also had smaller rims on the front; 19inches compared to the rears being 20. Why? There are a few options as to why but nothing concrete. Availability is one of the main factors. Trying to source 225/35R20 is nigh impossible where as 225/35R19 can be found on a few vehicles. Next we have the sidewall profile. Being 19 inches, the side-wall won't flex as much providing even greater grip at speed. And finally, looks. Some customers prefer their vehicle to look even sportier!

You may see on the newer models of McLaren that they will come fitted with the Pirelli Cyber tyre. Like the Michelin Connect system, there is a sensor on the tyre that can monitor the temperature, pressures, and suggests adjustments to the driver.
