Suppose to be, but I've never used them. I have used EBC Green and wasn't impressed.

Faster Braking
Brake Pads are only part of what it takes to slow your ride down.

Tires or tyres are what is in direct contact with the road. A wider profile, softer, stickier tire will reduce your stopping distance.

The downside, they wear fast and a wide tire really sucks on a wet road.
