They're using the Michelin PAX system where they actually glue the rubber to the wheel. It has a poly and rubber insert to keep shape and absorb the road.
Also they probably ran out of fuel at the end of the video.  |
It was the Veyron that had the very special and expensive PAX tyres, the Chiron uses "just" bespoke Sport Cup 2s.
