For the repeating questions: - This was filmed 2 weeks ago. As much as Robert and I both love the 675LT, I'm sure we'd fight over driving our new GR Yaris instead if we had the opportunity. (Video was filmed before we got the car). - Yes, the LT got a crack in the windscreen. For 2 years already! Here is when it happened, if you're new you should really check out this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p61inMlpmcnVpoE.html

It's a tough life you boys lead.

I must say you went really fast through the Herpelderp. And really held good speed through the Hørkelkuchen, all through to the Hagenberkweklaufehefen.

I guess it is true that not all tyres work on all cars, good job no brand deal stops you fitting the right tyre for the right car 😀

McLaren optional extras: - Remove stereo for extra cash - Remove A/C for extra cash - Standard windscreen thickness for "free"?

Always love the blow-off valve (?) sounds of the 675LT!

3:53 that was a real clubsport S, its good seeing them on the track :)

Love the sound of the 675LT, it’s my favourite Mac.

It wouldn't be a mclaren without a cracked windshield.

Still the best looking Mclaren out there 👍

Tirereviews had some reviews on the Trofeo R and the Cup 2. Also (don‘t remember the name) a german youtuber with a GT3 tested the Trofeo R on his car and had the experience the other way around. Trofeo R seems to be the tire with softer sidewalls, so it acts more as a part of the suspension than the Cup 2. So the whole steering and damping has to be more stiff and direct with the Trofeo R, thats maybe why you guys felt not comfortable. Car seems to be overdamped with this tire... Might be a reason! Anyhow, great video 😍

They looked like they are working.. I can imagine from the seat its a different feeling.. I know I can feel when my NT01s are getting to that point.. this actually made me change wheels due to cold weather in America thanks for the reminder..lol.. great stuff guys

The sound of that thing is just great!

The engine sound in this car is vicious. Love it

O yes my favorite car is back on the channel. This thing had the perfect spec.

Brilliant video ... love the 675LT

I had a set of those on my RWD 991 as well. They need wearing in, trust me. Not an issue on the MR. More so on the Mclaren is my guess.

Always great to see Mr Apex & Mr Nürnburgring doing lap together.

Got a small flashback to yesterday's vid in the Karussell, for a second I was like, I have seen that before. Thanks for the daily uploads!

Good info! Too bad you didn't try the revised "Cup2 Connects" (like a Cup 2.5 revision), hard to find any good test data on them so far, Michelin says its faster and stiffer sidewalls vs Cup 2 but no proper tests yet... Thanks for great informative content as always!

Hi Misha.. Great onboard lap with Robert! Love his driving skills (eg smooth & precise ) Hmm not all tyres are what they hyped up to be huh? Absolutely LOVE the McLaren💕. Thanx 4 sharing Misha, Godbless & hava g'day 🙂

Finally the 675LT makes an appearance. It should be featured more regularly. Interesting to know that these tyres don't really work on this car. One would assume that a tyre like the Cup 2 would be brilliant on any supercar. The roof scoop sounds though...

Just love that "heart rate" alert over the blowoff valve noise...💪💪👌

Thats why tires are developed with and for specific cars in mind. McLaren mostly feel good with Pirelli (mostly) or Toyo's or Dunlop slick. Thats alot of sliding, makes it look like the LT is off balance.

I like the noise of the 675 more than the 620R.

Its the weather. Retest on a 25+ degree day

When Chris Harris did his famous P1/Laf/918 head to head around Portimao, there was a mix between the Cup 2 and the Trof. The Cup got binned so all cars could be on the same tyre, in his opinion the best. The Trofeo.

I noticed that as the tires got warmer you did get braver

I really like the orange on the 675LT

Always a joy to watch. Goodyear have stepped up their game with the latest F1 Supersport series tires. Maybe the Supersport R would be a nice fit. Cheers.

One of the best car. 👌🔥❤

675lt is 1 of my favourite mclarens cheers steve 👍 😀

Thank you guys that was a fun lap !

Engine sound is amazing.

I thought you guys sold the 675LT. This car has sooooo much character.

Hi Misha, not all Cup2 are created equal. Porsche marked Cup2s are significantly tuned for dry and track (also tuned for the car it's supposed to be mounted on), compared to normal broad market unmarked tires. If Robert bought unmarked tires, they are on a more "road" use compromise.

Dit rondje komt bekent voor, weer die Martin.

Don´t care about the rear or back micro of the GoPro! This car sounds amazing from every direction!

Oh, part of this video was in yesterday's vlog. I was wonder why it felt familiar.

Good video

So what about the Cup 2 R?

Misha that’s too much car for you 😂😂😂

Okay Robert, I get your subtle hint that I must've forgotten a car or two when commenting under one of your recent videos. You remember, the giveaway (hope this persuades people to subscribe to @RobertMitchell😆) great video Misha! Thanks guys

Can it be too cold for the Cup 2's to perform?

Brilliant, zero ego and maximum enjoyment 👍🤓👍

For some reason, I get déjà vu watching this video. But excellent video regardless :D

So, did you guys experiment enough to determine what tyre is most suited for the McLaren 675LT? Just curious 🤨 , I know that the Michelin Cup 2’s are considered by many drivers to be the ultimate high performance tyre. For the average enthusiast out here it certainly makes sense to trust in the pros such as yourself to give honest assessments of equipment and invest our precious resources in what appears to be the best for our personal situations!! Great job guys !! Certainly enjoyed the presentation and opinions expressed ... 😊😊!

Sound was quite good I would say, it sound very nice this car. Ready for some SIM laps =)

Robert beast of a driver at Nürburgring, what's his Best time at the ring?

who is faster, the 600lt or the 675lt?

Oh my... The symphony...

either the tyre is overheating or the side wall is weak, you need to look at your tyre pressures, some tyres work better when they are a bit more inflated than you would like them to be

The white golf was so funny !

Tyre dealer said you have to have toyos to replace a set of Bridgestone SO2 with carbon fibre sidewalls. A civic vti areodeck with factory body kit. I drove out of dealer and straight back they where crap. So know how you feel Robert

Reeves Callaway has a great quote that essentially states, "Everything about a car is there to make the tires work." Is there something intrinsic about the McLaren's suspension or chassis that is not "switching on" the Michelin Cup 2 tire? Also, do you ever check tire temps with a pyrometer to be sure the tire is being utilized correctly across the entire surface?

Hi Misha, love the work you and Robert is putting on. Your content very helpful for those that owns similar type vehicles who tracks. Would you please share your track aliment for the 720s? I left a similar comment to Robert but I suppose the messages just flooded in and got washed away. Thank you!

Interesting insights... Thanks.

did you put on PSC2's with homologation for other car manufacturer? usually cars like you drive have specifically developed tyres in cooperation between car and tyre manufacturer and that ends in very different final product in same dimension than non(or different)-homologated tyre. dimension, SI, LI, looks and the name are the same but construction and compound is pretty different. also, geometry of a car that is good for OE tyre is very likely not good for others + dimensions (overall diameter particularly) can confuse electronics if not within permitted tolerances even satisfying ETRTO standards.

That cracked Windscreen 😭😭

Hey Robert .. stand aside and let Misha have a crack at the LT 👍

You guys should really have a deep dive in the world of Michelin tyres, all the different cup2 oem variations are very confusing and makes it almost impossible to choose a cup2 that works on your own car, because all the Michelin tires are different...and even the promised cup2 connect doesn't do the job right. For example, the Gt3r N2 marked cup 2 is equal to Trofeos in speed, but normal cup2s for let say an m2 is alot slower and totally different... I hate this fact that Michelin haven't given us a really good trackday tire across the range since the cup 1 och Cup +. Best regards from Sweden!

Summer tires dont bite very well at near wintery temperature conditions of 4 degC

I've always found something lacking with Michelin tyres. Grip is usually good, but feel is lacking. Sidewalls usually too soft for my tastes and driving. I've heard a few say the cup 2 are just a stickier version than a normal Michelin tyre in many ways.

I have argued in the past that certain tires/tyres work better on certain cars, I don't fully understand the physics off it, but have at a much lower performance level proved it myself.. I can kind of relate it to my experience driving a Subaru Imprezza P1 slowly, then driving it quickly on a lesser tire, the car hated the so called better tire at slow speed, and ever so slightly better when on it.

I have to preface it with the fact that I am in no way an expert and don't know a lot about this so I could be wrong, but could the Cup 2 be a tire that benefits from having more weight pressing on it compared to the Trofeo? AFAIK, the Trofeo has a lower treadwear than the Cup 2. Therefore it would be reasonable to assume that it has harder compound that requires more energy to get it up to optimal temperature, which isn't an issue in a heavier GT2, but is an issue in a lighter 675LT. Therefore by the time it would have optimal temperature with the McLaren it would already be worn and not as optimal as a new tire. I guess one way to test that theory would be to use tirewarmers and put pre warmed tires on McLaren and see how it does then. But I have to repeat, not an expert, just thinking out loud based on the limited knowledge I have, at close to 4 A.M. no less. P.S.I knew Tom had a Rolex Air-King this whole time (us watch guys can spot things like that from tiniest of details), this video just confirmed it with certainty.

Good stuff, thanks guys! :)

PS4S's are way better than P-Zero's on those cars, I found that out when I changed and scared myself at how much better it handled. Odd at the track level you didn't find that, I've talked to others who say Cup 2's are better on theirs. Perhaps the difference is in the suspension geometry, or tire pressures. I know actual tire dimensions are different for the same size.

675 LT is a serious sports car...its fast...there is nothing slow about that car....its "not" an entry level Mclaren

Tyre pressures maybe ? Might need more.

It's funny because I would have assumed that the Cup 2 are better as well. It just goes to show that different chassis configurations work well with different tires.

Is the cold weather possibly a factor in the performance of the tire? It would only make sense. It looks really miserable that day. I wonder if you guys have had those tires on the car during a warm day?

Hopefully the cup 2 can hold up well I'm sure it will👍

Damn you guys have a cracked windscreen, and I thought it's more a problem here in North Europe. Very often Studded tires let their spikes fly in the air . . .

So whats the temp? Sounds like the temps are too low.

Why is the driver sat so close to the wheel?

Casually in shorts XD

Dang one day I need to collab and make a video with you cuz the things in your vids are my dreams!

Crack in windscreen ?? Expensive to replace?

Misha: Laps with the Yaris ???

What about Trofeos on the GT2RS? 🤯

I am going to get into the 620R which has the Teofeo R “in a minute”. (2:59)

That engine love to rev😍

So whats the beebing sound from the car? Just curious :)

Wait since when did you still have that car? I thought it was long since replaced by other cars.

In surprised to see McLaren's still having problems with windscreens cracking!. Caviate of course a stone could have caused that at high velocity!.. I personally really like McLaren so don't want to jump on this McLaren hate train!.. I think there fantastic, just hopefully the windscreen thing will get solved pretty quickly if it's the windscreens too thin again etc.

How cold was it? Was the tire broken in properly? - release gel worn off Also since the tire is not an R was it shaved?

misha you are greatttttt👍🥰

Misha what is your preference between 600LT or 675LT? And what does Robert prefer?

Well but the question is what cup 2 did he use? N1? Ferrari cup 2? General cup 2? There are a few options for the 675lt what was the recommended cup 2 submodel and what did Robert used?

Interesting findings regarding the highly regarded Cup2, that it doesn’t work on the 675, what tyres would you recommend for dry track? The OE Trofeo R or Nankang that I believe you have used? Thanks for the insight

I wonder if you try them again during the summer

From when is this video? Are you guys allowed to drive on the track when it's closed for Touristenfahrten? I am asking since they did not open it since 22.11.20

Where is ice cold moriz? And rest team?

Can he try dunlop sportmax RT on this car?

isn't that one of the possible downsides of the stiffer sidewalls versus Trofeo R? The sidewall flex makes it so you as a driver don't need to be as smooth?

Great video.. is it possible the extra tire movement is due to tire pressures. I know from experience the cup 2 tires get very squirmy at pressures above 34 psi and I usually keep them around 30 psi (hot pressure) to stay planted which means I start the laps at 21 to 23 psi to hit these targets and often had to bleed some more air to keep them closer to 30 psi. Just curious what tire pressures Robert had during his 1st session. Mark

Boy can drive.thats for sure.x

Misha, how come Robert doesn't let you taxi the McLaren & Porsche GT2?

Was that a Tier 1 review of a Tier 2 tyre, at least for this application?

Love you guy's...
