Vehicle model
McLaren Gamme McLaren - véhicules particuliers
McLaren's passenger vehicle lineup comprises its rear-mid-engine combustion supercars, the brand's historic core. It is organized around successive families: the Sports Series (570S, 600LT), the Super Series (650S, 720S, 765LT), and grand touring (GT then GTS), to which are added the exceptional models of the Ultimate Series. The current flagship is the 750S, a coupe and roadster powered by a 4.0 L twin-turbo V8, billed as one of the most accomplished production supercars of its generation. These cars target a passionate clientele seeking pure performance, lightness, and driving pleasure rather than comfort or versatility. In Quebec, they are used mainly in fair weather: their low ground clearance, high power, and performance tires make them poorly suited to snow. Forged 19- and 20-inch wheels and custom Pirelli tires equip most of these models; a dedicated set of performance winter tires is indispensable for driving outside the summer season.

Tires and wheels
Tire and wheel compatibility
Les McLaren chaussent des pneus de performance ultra-haute, le plus souvent montés sur des jantes forgées de 19 pouces à l'avant et 20 pouces à l'arrière, avec un montage très étagé (pneus arrière nettement plus larges que l'avant). Les gommes d'origine sont des Pirelli P Zero ou P Zero Corsa développées sur mesure pour la marque. Au Québec, où les pneus d'hiver sont obligatoires, ces voitures exigent des pneus hiver de performance spécifiques, parfois proposés par Pirelli, et restent peu adaptées aux conditions enneigées. Les dimensions étant rares et propres à chaque modèle, mieux vaut valider l'entraxe, le déport et la cote exacte d'origine avant tout achat.
