Im not saying that the tires are the only out of so many factors in stopping, but theyre a major one.
I would love to see a side by side comparison... the primacy tires aren't nearly as greasy as people make them out to be when compared to an average all season tire. They suck as a pure summer compared to GOOD extreme summer tires, but compared to an all season they're still a decent tire.

What's probably happening is that your other cars dive a lot more under braking (the camry for sure, my wife has one) so it feels like they're braking harder but they aren't. The FRS/BRZ brakes pretty flat for a stock car.
