Considering that there are some 87 tire manufacturers in the world that isn't very informative nor difficult to claim.

In order to reach her record-breaking speed, the former US national track, road and mountain bike champion was pulled along by tow rope at 100 mph, before being released to pedal herself.

From that point she was riding in the slipstream of the dragster for 3.5 miles, achieving the record average of 183.9 mph over the last mile.

She only achieved 183 mph AFTER being towed to 100 mph.

My point is that at those speeds tires overheat and throw the entire rubber tread off. So it requires specially built high speed tires that are like racing tires and have a tread that weighs nearly nothing so that there's no centrifugal weight effect enough to peel it off.

And I believe that she had to be towed up closer to 150 mph to be able to turn that gear over with enough force to remain in the slip stream.
