You guys are funny. It's not the brakes. It's the tires. Brakes don't stop the car. Tires do. If you don't believe this, try braking on ice and see how wonderfully you stop with those magic brakes.
Thanks for putting really good tires on our cars from the factory Lexus (except those Turanzas they're using now...)

I just put Bridgestone RE050A Pole Positions on my car, and they are wonderfully quiet, slide predictably, and grip within a few fractions of a percent of the class leading Michelin PS2s. They're quite a bit cheaper than the Michelins too, and according to Tire Rack testing, they work just a little better in the rain. I would highly recommend them for your next set after the Turanzas, you'll be very favorably impressed.

Not knocking the company, but I'll be interested in hearing your opinion of these tires again, but at 10-12k or so, to see how they hold up for you.

Yep brake is really grabby. I am still adjusting to it. Most of the time my braking is jerky and not smooth cause I can never quite figure out the correct pressure.... Well, one of these days I will learn. Meanwhile, now I am hesitant to do the brake TSIB

^^one of the benefits of the TSIB pads is they are more predictable and consistent. I like them MUCH better.
