Actually JC drove it all the way from Paris to London in Top Gear and he said that. it wuz incredibly stable. And yes, if you go above 350 right upto 407kph, the tyres will last only 15minutes, but thats not a problem, coz yull run out of fuel in 12min
those Michelins cost 1200pounds a piece

Jeremy Clarkson said it in Top Gear, Season 7 Episode 4, when he took the Veyron across Europe

The best any tyre can manage in a road car is the Michelin PAX for the EB16.4 Veyron, theyre very fat and huge, literally...ppl whove driven the Veyron say that it handles like an Elise. Those tyres can withstand 400+kph plus the cornering loads at say 200-250kph..theyre the best for now.
More accurately these tyres will be "best" for a Veyron
For lateral grip - I'd refer you guys back to Ginsu's answer - road legal competition tyres will give you that.
