I would guesstimate that the GT's run is over and close to stopped before a Veyron gets to 200 another plus is the GT is far lighter so it's tires are seeing
much lower loading and thus less heat. I would be far more worried about the Veyrons tires going from 200 to 240 and back to 0 because of the time available for heat build up. Think about those NASCAR tanks running around Taladega averaging over 200 for lap after lap before the restrictor plates were required, the banking g loading produces even more heat.

A Veyron hits 200 mph in 22.2 sec. The SS version will do it in 20. Tire expansions comes int to play too.There are a lot of factors involved in this type of event.
