How the Veyron gets traction


The high-speed tires designed specially for the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 (for vmax. > 350 km/h), sizes 265-680 ZR500A (front) and 365-710 R540A (rear), incorporate a further innovative safety feature in the form of the PAX System fitted to the wheels and tires, ensuring safe handling even after sudden pressure loss.

It's about a lot more than tire....

You could bolt 4 of those to an evo and you wouldnt even budge, you'd just break driveline hahah.

If it did fit, it would probably stick out farther than the mirrors lol. That's some serious rubber.
