    What brake upgrades are available for a 2016 Tundra? After going up a size in tires my OEM brakes are less than adequate.

    Going up a size on tires shouldn’t make your brakes worthless. When’s the last time you’ve changed the fluid? Changed the pads? Serviced the slide pins? Make sure a piston isn’t seized?

    I will need to check on the brake fluid. But all four rotors and pads were replaced about 20,000 miles ago.

    What was used as replacements? New doesn’t mean better.

    Pads will make a bigger difference than rotors. Stick to OE rotors and get some quality pads. You do a big brake kit but that’s several thousand dollars.
