This is fasle. XP10's bite wayyyyyyyyyyy harder than stock pads. It's like driving a different car and requires a very gental braking foot. That being said, even though the bite is wayyyyy better with XP10's, tires are your limiting factor for stopping distance. Stock tires can't handle XP10's in my experience. Also they dust more than stock and are pretty noisy sometimes. I would not recomend them for daily use.

I have no experience with XP8's so I can't comment on those.
