Trofeo R, Corsa and P Zero are all same size:type for the sport series.

I used all 3 tyres on my 570s TP and have to say you would not want Trofeos on as all year round tyres.

The best Pirelli compromise are the Corsas, ok for track use and spirited road driving.

This has all been covered before but the Michelin PS4S are better

Yes thats right - 600LT uses Trofeo R, 225/35 front 285/35 rear, same as the P Zero Corsa for a 570S.

I would also recommend Corsa's for 'spirited driving', as mentioned above.. only thing i would say is they aren't too good in the wet, which is quite often in the UK

Guru another small problem ...im trying to connect my bluetooth for wireless streaming but when I click on Iris it says 'not in range'...so I have to physically connect a lead to the phone to listen to Spotify...this had been working fine until recently any way to fix?

Would probably just recommend disconnecting your phone, and repairing it.. try that.

On my LT I have std P-Zero. Do you have any knowledge in how they compare vs Corsa, which were not avail on LT?

P Zero are a good all round tyre, think the optimum temperature is around 6 and 18 celsius.. it is designed to be the all round tyre, whether it is raining or sunny.. they are not designed for track. Corsa's optimum temp is slightly higher, think its between 10 and 20 celsius. Better for hotter climates, more of a performance tyre over the P Zero.

Do you know why they didn’t make available on the LT?

Corsa optimum temp 10-20 degrees, I have them on my car and the tyre temp display doesn’t go from blue to green until 24/25 around then the difference in grip becomes more noticeable. I have only had corsas so I couldn’t compare them to anything else to be honest. I do fancy swapping to ps4s next time.

Had Corsas on my V12VS but swapped them out for normal pzeros when autumn came...currently have pzeros on my 570 but want to try the PS4S when the time to change comes

Thanks prob should have just done that myself!

Honestly haven't got a clue - maybe just a marketing strategy with the P Zero's, as in to say 'it can be a daily car if you want it to be', and then polar opposite with the Trofeo R's to say 'it can be the ultimate track weapon, here are some sticky shoes to help you'? I'm really not sure to be honest.

Hi All,

After agreeing to purchase a 570s from a Mclaren dealer should I be unduly concerned that the car has been tracked?

I have asked for an inspection and report on the condition of the callipers pads and rotors.

Any other details questions or inspections that I should be asking for? Will they really prep the car back to 'as new'?

Thanks

I wasn't that impressed with my pre-purchase inspection. I got a video - which was about 15s long and showed me virtually nothing. I asked for another one - which was a bit better, but still didn't really convince me that much.

My 650 wasn't prepared as well as I expected. When I got it home, I noticed white worm all over the diamond cut faces of the alloys - which really should not have been the case for a 6 figure car from an authorised dealer. But to their credit, they took the car back for a week and refurbed the wheels as soon as I made them aware - and McLaren as a whole have provided exceptional customer service.

I would definitely want confirmation that the brakes are OK given the cost - especially since they're not a warranty item - but other than that, I wouldn't worry too much. I suspect a lot of them have been on the track even if the tyres don't suggest they have. (And I knew mine had done the supercar weekends, which is on track - even if it's not a true track day).

As part of annual servicing, McLaren Dealerships provide what is known as a “safety inspection video”. The video lasts approx 2 minutes. The car is put up on ramps and a technician walks the underneath of the the car showing measurements of tyre depth, brake pad depth and condition of CCD’s. The walk around also covers any possible damage to the underside such as missing air ducts and worn suspension joints/gaiters etc.. basically all the stuff you are unable to see. In addition to this, I would INSIST for the engine under-tray to be removed and for the technician to look for any signs of oil and coolant leaks.

It’s not a big event for the dealer, so they should accommodate a request to provide the video.

Yours might - mine didn't when I had my service in December.

Odd, I thought it was standard practice for all McLaren dealers.

Agreed
Neither of mine had this in 5 years

Can you tell us what dealer you are using?

Over the 10K miles of owning a 720S, I had 2 services, both times I received a video Safety Inspection. Maybe it is specific to Rybrook going the extra mile. I suspect it is worth their time because it gives the opportunity to up sell tyres etc. Anyway, it is reassuring to see the underside of the vehicle and that parts were in good condition. If it isn’t standard across other Dealerships, it should be.
