Stuart;

Exactly. I don't have to worry about spinning the tires UP. Or dealing with the torque (either direction) of an engine driven wheel. But the principle is the same. I say, do not downshift in a panic stop. You'll be busy steering and (non-ABS) modulating the brakes for max effort. Was what the original question was.

I didn't even want to go near the swapping ends of a 911 botched-downshift-induced excursion off-road.
