"lock up," in the context of ABS, means reaching the limit of traction so ABS kicks in.

I misunderstood what you meant by "lock-up"...

I thought you meant locking up the wheels so they skid.

Terminology failure.

I either can't understand english or you can't dont know how to use it..

I hardly doubt you can control a car when the wheels are locked up. I don't care what tire you have,if your locked, you have no control over you car.

So yes, your completely correct, the TT brakes are fine to lock up and slow you down, but don't expect to have control after you lock up.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/tt/msgs/1014284.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/tt/msgs/1014284.phtml</a</li></ul>
