The term failure is a bit misleading. Larger tires like 38s in place of 28s will put the brakes at mechanical disadvantage. 3% larger sounds a bit conservative, but that is because the author of the article doesn’t want any kind of liability issues. I run 31s in place of my stock 28s, 10% larger than stock, and I’m happy with my braking performance.
Keep in mind that if you go wider and larger you’re adding mass to the longer lever arm.
