Interesting article. Per mile it may be true. Why do the entire wheels need to be replaced every three tire changes?? :confused

IMHO the tire and wheel change intervals are based on a CYA policy given the 250+ MPH speed rating. If you only drove the car at legal US highway speeds I would say the wheels would last the life of the car and the tires would need changing when worn or too old. If you drove the car aggressively, or to it's potential, you should be all means follow Bugatti's recommendations to the TEE!

Note if you drove the car like EP would, the tires and wheels would last forever!

...'a quite sound economic strategy, wouldn't you say?

It doesn't cost $300,000 per year to maintain a Veyron. And a private jet costs way more than what it does cost to maintain a Veyron. It's not even close. Just sensational nonsense that sounds good in print.

Good to know. Anyway isn't all media sensational nonsense.

However since I don't keep a private jet nor own a Veyron the media captured me and got me to click on their article. :bored :lol
