And really limit it to 258 vs 264? 6MPH is going to kill tires? Who the fuck can drive that fast all the time and where the fuck do you even get tires to withstand those speeds anyways?
Actually I watched a program on the veyron, and Michelin makes the tires for the car. Each one is hand made and one set costs 18k and is designed to last 6500 miles at normal speed (12min or some shit at max) You get a choice of two tires for the car, street, or track because the sumbitches are like 18" wide in the rear. The tires were over engineered to be able to hit mid 260's, hence the electronic limiting..they were pushing the tires beyond designed limits for the record..so yes, 6mph matters, as the car was only like 13mph off the limit of the tires to begin with.
