Find Tyres for 2015-2016 McLaren P1

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about UK tyre fitment, MOT rules and seasonal options.

• Are all-season tyres suitable for the McLaren P1?

  All-season tyres carrying the 3PMSF snowflake symbol are a sensible choice for UK McLaren P1 drivers who don't want to swap between summer and winter sets. Confirm the size and load rating match your OEM spec.

• Are run-flat tyres needed on the 2015-2016 McLaren P1?

  Most 2015-2016 McLaren P1 cars were supplied with conventional tyres and a spare or repair kit. Only fit run-flats if your specific car was originally specified with them and has tyre pressure monitoring.

• Why does the same P1 generation list multiple tyre sizes?

  Within one generation of the P1, McLaren offered different wheel sizes by trim and option pack. A Sport or M Sport variant might use wider, lower-profile tyres than the entry trim. Always go by the actual wheel fitted to your car.

• What wet grip should I look for on the McLaren P1?

  For UK driving conditions, prioritise an EU tyre label wet-grip rating of A or B. Wet grip directly affects braking distance — the gap between A and E ratings can be more than a car length at 50 mph.

• The P1 uses 19" or larger wheels — what should I know?

  Larger wheels mean lower-profile tyres with shorter sidewalls — that means firmer ride, more pothole sensitivity and shorter tyre life on UK roads. Premium tyres usually repay the extra cost on cars with 19"+ wheels.
