Badri,
Can you explain what you mean by "scary braking situations" a little more? That will help us determine if a wider tire is going to solve your "problem".
Another thing for you to think about is braking technique. If your "scary breaking situations" involved a sudden stop and the wheels locking up, you should know that your stopping distances in the dry will be shorter if you can remain calm and keep the tires from locking up.
The proper way to brake with a non-ABS car is to depress the brake pedal until the wheels are about to lock, and then to hold it there, trying to anticipate and prevent lockup. This technique is called threshold braking. It takes time to master, but once you can do it you'll find that your car stops a lot better because you have greater command of it.
