#1 rule people forget is how fast you can stop isn't determined by the brakes as long as they're already strong enough to lock the wheels or cause loss of control, which they always are on cars and often on bikes.

The bigger concern on cars is, how many times can you apply the brakes before experiencing fade or overheating. But yeah - there's a reason old guys use expensive tires too!
