Big Tires NEED Big Brakes: Anthony (@1TonTone) Upgrades to R1 Concepts Off-Road & Tow Pads

The Bigger the Wheel, the Bigger the Need to STOP It

When you’re rolling on 42-inch tires, your brake setup needs to do more than just “get the job done.” It needs to own the stop. That’s exactly what Anthony (@1TonTone) realized when he rolled into Clean Rides Accessories to upgrade his truck’s brake system.

This wasn’t just a casual upgrade. It was a calculated move to match his massive tire size with stopping power that could handle freeway speeds, steep grades, and the weight of a full-size build.

“It takes a lot for 42s to slow down on a freeway. You can never go wrong with adding more brake power,” Anthony told us.

What He Upgraded: R1 Concepts Off-Road & Tow Brake Pads

To give Anthony the grip and control his rig demands, we outfitted him with our R1 PERFORMANCE Off-Road/Tow Series Brake Pads. Built specifically for heavy-duty applications, these pads are designed to:

  • Deliver immediate stopping power (no warm-up required)
  • Withstand high loads, towing, and oversized wheels
  • Resist fade under stress with consistent performance
  • Stay quiet with low dust output

These aren’t just pads. They’re pure stopping muscle for builds that need more than OEM performance can offer.

Pro Tip:

If your ride has oversized tires, a stock brake setup may not cut it. Upgrading your pads (and ideally your rotors) is a must-do mod, not just for performance but for safety.

Why Bigger Brakes Matter with Bigger Tires

Here’s the thing. The larger the tire, the more mass your brakes have to control. That extra rotating weight makes it harder to stop, especially under heavy throttle, downhill cruising, or sudden stops. Factory brakes weren’t made with your 40s or 42s in mind.

Better brakes mean better control, safer driving, and longer component life.

As Anthony put it:

“If you can go that extra step with better rotors and pads to stop a car that’s heavy with big tires, it’s obviously a big plus.”
