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.
