MotoGP has formally announced a new agreement with Italian tyre manufacturer Pirelli to become its new tyre supplier from 2027.
A new five-year contract was announced on Thursday, extending through 2031, finalizing MotoGP’s collaboration with its junior classes and welcoming Pirelli as the new tyre provider. This deal will kick off before the new technical regulations era in 2027, promising one of the most significant transformations to the series in recent history. Michelin currently holds the exclusive role of supplying tyres for MotoGP, ensuring their support and technology for the 2025 and 2026 seasons. Pirelli has been a familiar name in motorsport, serving as Formula 1’s sole tyre supplier since 2011, and will now enter MotoGP along with MotoE. While Pirelli supplies Moto2, Moto3, and the Road to MotoGP, Michelin will maintain its exclusive supplier status for MotoGP and MotoE until the conclusion of the current technical regulations in 2026. Additional details on Pirelli’s tyre allocations and specifications are anticipated to be revealed soon.
