Default binding brakes/Tyre change?

Hey guys I did a few runs of the strip at santa pod a few days back then I decided why not go for it and got my car mapped when I was there.
Now when I was on the strip obviously I gave the tyres the beans to do some burnouts warming them up, and the tread has got pretty low so I would guess it's the Tyre needs changing but I had to brake pretty hard on the strip(enough for the hazards to come on by themselves) and have read it could be binding brakes.

Also possibly me thinking clutch slipping incase it's can't handle the map. It's a 1.6 Tdci, went from 90bhp to 115 and gained about an extra 50 NM of torque.

Just curious what people think the issue could be
Thanks

You haven't said what the problem actually is?
