You bring up a very important point: it is not brakes that stop a car, but the tires. Most reputable race shops and brake manufacturers make a direct connection between pad torque and tire grip levels. Most resellers just want to push the newest product (almost always high torgue product) because that's what sells and brings food on the table.
It is completely counterproductive to have pads which can easily overwhelm the tires by engaging ABS, as that, by and large, makes trailbraking much more difficult, if not outright impossible. And without effective trailbraking it is extremely hard to manage weight transfer and balance, and hence overall entry speeds. And with that, overall laptimes, for very obvious reasons. Glad you brought it up. Cheers!
