Long story short, I replaced the tires on my truck from 245/75/R16 with 265/75/R16 on 16x8 rims which is barely an increase at all. Now my braking power is considerably less.
I replaced the original front rotors with new premium ones and new brakes. I still cant brake nearly well enough. I just went down a steep hill and with my brakes down hard, I was still unable to stop very well. I don't have ABS on the truck but I don't think it matters because even with me braking as hard as I can, I cant lock the tires up.
Anyway, what can I do to fix this? I pull an 8.5x20 cargo trailer fairly regularly and the last thing I want is to not be able to stop.
The truck is a 98 Ram 4x4 long bed. Not lifted or anything.
