400-km/h-tires for Bugatti and Co: technology High-tech tires of up to 400 km/h and faster

Hyper sports cars like the Bugatti Chiron, (the predecessor of Veyron) cause high stress for man and Material. An important safety aspect of the tyres are the famous 400 km/h. The high-speed tires must make Extreme and are incredibly expensive. The Facts!

From a 16-cylinder W-engine with eight liters and four Turbos of the Bugatti draws 1500 HP at 6700 rpm and develops a maximum torque of 1600 Nm (2000 – 6000 rpm). The 1995 kg heavy four-wheel drive accelerates in 2.5 s to 100 km/h, 300 it reached in the 13.6 s. top: 420 km/h. price: 2.856.000 Euro.

The fast-running, tested Michelin on test rigs for racing and aircraft tires – where previously, the Space Shuttle Tires were developed. Bi-Compound-rubber mixture for maximum Grip, 720 meters aramid fibers, 580 m Polyester Karkassfaden, reduced tread depth (five mm), maximum mileage: 10,000 km. At maximum speed the tire is spinning about 50 Times per second. To occur at the running surface forces, which correspond to approximately 4000 Times the acceleration due to gravity (g = 9.81 m/s2). The weight of the valve (18.3 g, without the TPMS Sensor) increases at full throttle at around 55 kg.
