Tyres are most efficient when producing a small amount of braking force as well as a cornering force and braking later than braking in a straight line, in theory. In reality it's not that easy to accomplish I usually tend to be an aggressive throttle stabbing monkey in my driving, but I can be 'smooth' as long as the rear end is waving around, then I'm happy
