stupidest crash really getting pissed at california drivers! Was making a left off of the most used street in our whole town here. Two cars in front of me PT Cruiser car in front of nissan, nissan frontier in front of me. Following both cars making a left the pt cruiser slams on his brakes then the nissan I slam on mine and if it seemed as it the brakes didnt even work. Could this be that the stock brakes are having problems slowing down my non stock tires?
 
How much bigger are your stock tires?

I ran 33s and the brakes were fine. 35s is pushing it a bit and I am starting to notice some reduced braking power.
 
Idk what my stock were but my new A/T's are 33's, my other concern is a got hit like a month ago on my rear right tire. the guy that hit me royally f'ed the alignment on the back end of my truck and the tire. But the problem is the axle housing still hasent been replaced due to ford taking there sweet ass time sending the frame shop the housing. So I was thinking is it possible that it has a alignment making the truck sit wierd(I can feel it driving badly out of alignment when I'am driving it) maybe made the brakes work harder then they usually handle?
