When you push on the brakes do all tires stop?

When you press the brake pedal in your car, all four wheels engage with the brake system and come to a stop. This is because the brake system is designed to be interconnected, so that when you press the pedal, it sends a signal to all four wheels to apply the brakes.

Here's a simplified explanation of how the brake system works:

1. When you press the brake pedal, you are essentially activating a master cylinder.

2. The master cylinder then sends brake fluid through brake lines to each of the four wheels.

3. At each wheel, the brake fluid enters a caliper, which contains pistons that push brake pads against the brake rotors.

4. The friction between the brake pads and rotors causes the wheels to slow down and eventually come to a stop.

So, yes, when you push on the brakes, all four tires will engage with the brake system and come to a stop.
