"Braking stopping distances are determined by what tires you have, not pads, rotor or brake lines. Those changes will effect, feel and heat fade, but not stopping distances unless brakes are very hot. So tires are the key."
we all know how important tires are to the overall handling of a vehicle including the stopping factor but you just exagerated/professed it a bit further ;-)
Without brakes, assuming the operator of a SAAB releases the gas pedal, friction of the tire to the ground is the only stopping factor. Having said that, I can profess and say that the pavement on which the tire is making contact has a similar deal of impact on stopping distance, etc ...
The difference between a tuned brake system and a sub-par one can be the difference between life and death. Screw (HP).. I want brake power (BP) Handling Power (HP) and safety power (SP).
Non-ABS brakes do better job in the dry cause they lock the tire giving a flat contact patch which results in shorter stopping distance. ABS on the other hand, lock/release (under defined constraints) allowing the wheel to rotate in the interim which minimize the drag on the pavement and increase stopping distance.
