  That’s just for better temp dispersion and brake longevity, right?

  I got into an argument with some guy on r/justrolledintheshop about a bit of a myth regarding brakes.
  I sent him several videos of an automotive engineer/enthusiast explaining exactly why it was a myth, including directly addressing some of the exact assumptions the guy was making, with the math and physics to back it up.
  He sent me screenshots of him asking chatGPT about it and getting vaguely myth affirming responses. He said that it was more conclusive evidence than "some stranger on a video that may as well be a flat earther making wrong assumptions" because it "used all the information on the internet to arrive at an answer, so he wasn't going to waste time watching them.
  Of course a lot of the information online regarding this topic is people believing the myth and companies happily selling them things based on it. >
  
  I’m curious to know what the myth was >
  
  That bigger brake rotors will stop a car faster.
