The tires don't last that long, and they cost well beyond what your typical person is willing to pay. Also, their traction while cold is terrible and they have no tread. Stiff as hell too, I've got a pair of F1 tires in my room as a night-stand. Not something you'd want on a car.
Neither none of the brands you've mentioned above have a car that does 250+ miles per hour, much less are able to handle 1000 horse power. The Veyron's tires are custom made for the application to handle a vehicle that is more powerful, and faster (in a straight line) than some of the worlds most incredible race cars.
