Bugatti Veyron tyres - what does a set cost?

That should read 'Of course we can find th bl**dy tyres - we make them after all - only we're not allowed to supply them to you. Now go make that call to Heer Pischetsrieder and please don't baulk at the price. We can't help it, either. Any interest in a set of part-worn F1 tyres, though? Only used once, last year. Free shipping from Indianapolis included.' Edited by 900T-R on Tuesday 3rd October 16:29

16k?? how much mileage did he get out of them
Coming from nowhere, the mysterious Warren, in his very first post, gets the biscuit. Well done!
A new set costs 25,700 Euros, or a bit more than £17,000.
In this case, the original tyres had 2,000 miles on them. My friend drives his cars rather purposefully.

Chuck the old ones on ebay

Flemke. To put this in perspective can you please confirm the cost for a set of tyres fitted for both the F1 and the Carrera GT?
Clearly Daz thinks he needs to re-shoe the whole stable at the same time. 
Hello, Kwik Fit? Yes, that's four tyres each on my Veyron, Carrera GT and F1 please. Click, brrrrrrrrr ..........

Something tells me the service schedule and running costs were not deal breakers when it came time to put the deposit down?
"Hello mate. New motor I see?"
"Yeah I went for the Veyron in the end. Its not the colour I wanted but the garage did me a deal to offload it cause noone's buying the purple ones. They threw in the first service for free, a full tank of petrol and there was a bunch of flowers and a bottle of bubbly on the passenger seat for the missus. Ive heard a new set of boots can be a bit pricey though. Wonder if I can get hold of some remoulds...."
"Sounds good mate. 'Ere, where did Bugatti come in that JD Power fingy last year anyway?"
"Dunno, but I booked it in for a pin stripe and some genuine Bugatti mud-flaps this mornin' and the bird in the service department sounded lovely on the phone. The workshop even give it a clean before you pick it up."

To confirm, Flemke; that's one set that can do the whole 252mph?

That I don't know.
He's done 401 clicks at Ehra Liessen, but I think that they fit their own tyres for the run as part of the deal.
You will recall that the car won't do more than 370 or something unless you use a special key in the sill to raise the rev-limit, and the limit is re-established whenever the brake pedal is touched or the driver turns the wheel more than something like 60 degrees, I think it is. Thus it is rather irrelevant whether a customer's tyres are capable of travelling more than the limited speed, because in practice he is very unlikely ever to get there.
I suspect, however, that the same tyre is used in all applications. If you're designing from scratch something capable of frequent use at 370, would you design a different thing for 400? (especially in light of how much they're charging for the tool)
