A Veyron burns about 1.3 gallons per minute at top speed. It would run out of fuel in 12 minutes in a top speed run so tires won't even have a chance of failure on a top speed run.

The tires they used claimed to be able to last for 15 mins max before burning out... but do you really think these tires would hold up for even 10. I know the 12 minute marker at max...but I made the comment if they would make it to 200+ or even a top speed run for a car like a veyron. If the tires won't make it to the top, whats the point of how much fuel you use.
