It uses special Michelin PAX run-flat tyres, designed specifically to accommodate the Veyron’s top speed, and cost US$25,000 per set. The tyres can be mounted on the wheels only in France, a service which costs US$70,000.

The leather used for the interior trim is all harvested from a herd of cattle that are maintained in an alpine pasture at an altitude where mosquitoes aren't found to minimize any scarring or blemishes to the leather. No barbed wire used for their enclosures either.
