Tire compounds are the most important aspect of braking performance. More important than ceramic vs steel, pad compund and rotor diameter/thickness/construction. Most cars are supplied with a compromise tire. Some manufacturers put competetion tires on their cars for magazine road tests, esp the Italian exotics. The magazines don't tell you that. I'm suprised the GT3 cup wasn't more in the lead because of its slick Michelin race tires. That tells you how good the cars near it do on street of possibly R1 tires (tires like the Michelin PS cup, P-zero corsa, etc).
