Some do have better brakes than others, but the most important (and 
overlooked!) part of the car is that small square patch of rubber where 
the tire meets the row, this is usually your main point of failure. You 
can have 700 ft/lb of torque, and the best brakes in the world, if your 
tires suck none of it matters. Of course, there's a trade-off. Tires 
that grip exceptionally well do so because the rubber is soft. Soft 
rubber wears faster.
