Just simply put: I drive 40 miles a day or more round trip to work. Going in as early as I do, no body is out. Coming home at 5:00 pm different story. They are doing constant construction on the hwy to widen it ect. Traffic will go from 70 to a dead stop in seconds. There have been several times, even with only 35's I have almost become (one of those guys that gets looked at as people pass you by while you are there with the cops and the front of your jeep is in the back of something else guy) and the fact that I have my kids with me all the time (cause they love dads big noisy jeep) is some of just a few reasons why I would love better brakes. And jeeeep, I am glad you are okay and know one was hurt.
