if you watch the last one he says something about how at whatever speed he is going, (i dont think he made it to top speed, but i dont remember) the tires would only last 4 min or somethin, but he doesnt have to worry about that, because he would be out of gas before that time. i dont remember the exact length, but ya, still bad

the other review they did (racing an airplane from italy to london) said that at top speed, the gas tank lasts 12 minutes

actually, the biggest holdup to making this a full production car once they had the prototype and everything build was that they couldn't find tires that would come close to surviving service on the car

he also said "the tires would only last 14 minutes at that speed, but not to worry, the fuel only lasts twelve"
