Tony Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 I learnt today that at full speed the Vayron tyres last......... 36miles at a cost of 20k a set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 I thought you were on about a new cheap Chinese no brand tyre then realised you meant the Veyron! That's not alot of mileage for the money! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parthiban Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 But of course, I think in reality you'd struggle to do 250mph for more than 36 miles! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liner33 Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 Need new wheels every other set as well so I've heard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted April 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 Every third set of tyres they need new wheels. I think it's due to the chemical mix in the inflation, a bit similar to F1 inflation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liner33 Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 Glue is better , lighter and more even http://www.autoevolution.com/news/owning-a-bugatti-veyron-doesn-t-come-cheap-heres-how-much-it-actually-costs-video-101448.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted April 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 Didn't know they used glue..... We used to do that years ago on the big rigs when they went to tubeless tyres... With a load on up hill the rims just span in the tyres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
