If you can shell out the money for a veyron i dont think 27k for tires will be a problem. I wish I was that rich...

I saw that HD Theatre channel special they did about the car. They claim it takes a worker one hour to make one tire.

He are some more fun facts.

The car is CONSTANTLY talking to Buggati corporate about itself.

If they see you have done 252 miles per hour, you will get a phone call telling you that you need a service.

If your tires are low, you will get a phone call telling you so.

If you insert the second key (warpspeed key) and there is an issue with your car, you will get a phone call saying so.

The man is watching.

Yeah I saw the making of the car too, it was truly amazing.

Some other things, :
The rotors are hand made
the sensor that adjusts the rear wing is hand made as well O_o
the front and rear are held together by bolts that cost $100 each. lol

It is a marvel in my mind

i highly doubt this, as theres people in the US that own veyrons, and I seriously doubt that they have to ship their cars to france to get new tires
