Thought some of you might be interested in this chart. Always wondered about tire wear and speed as more speed is more heat and friction. I believe on the Bugatti Veyron at 240mph tires will last about 15 minutes so it makes sense.

You run out of gas first.

Maybe they need to put a 50 gallon tank in it. Then again, they could just buy a fuel truck to follow it around and carry a few extra Veyron tires on the truck.
