Everything Riff said is right on, but for my and many others personal real life experience, our VX's stock braking system is still more than adequate to lock up all 4 tires on command (even with ridiculously heavy wheels and tires), but if you want more braking power than it takes to lock up the tires feel free to upgrade but it seems a little silly to upgrade past the ability to completely stop rotation unless you are worried about over heating because of racing type use. Your call, yes increasing rotating mass increases stopping distance, but I for one had many more close calls before upgrading wheels/tires than after, I do not know what to attribute that to, maybe being more careful just because I know it will take a little longer to stop.
never gets old huh?
It kinda depends on which rif you're talkin' to...one week he'll say big tires & wheels are the devil...
In another thread he'll post "go big or go home"
I think it's dependent on some cycle I don't fully comprehend...
