Need help identifying a tire

I took this picture at Rennsport '23. This car was in the 959 area. Anyhoo, I am starting a longhood project and loved this car and trying to identify the tires on it.

Looks like a Pirelli PZero Trofeo R to me.
Alas, AFAIK... NLA in 15" or 16" diameters.

Enhance 57, 19.
Track 45 left



The R is fairly clear, as is the sidewall texturing treatment, both of which match the Trofeo tire.



Well spotted Frank
