My original thinking was perhaps the additional weight of the 406 was just puttin too much strain on the v-6 sized tires. But 235s are decently wide. The additional weight may still have something to do with it. Past that, I don't know how to help you. Which tires are locking?

Nope, v6 and v8 use the same standard braking systems, as long as you're talking about the 82-92 J50 (disk/drum) and 82-88 J65 (4 wheel disc) system.
If you're talking about an upgraded braking package like the PBR rear disc calipers or the special two-piston front calipers, those never came on v6 cars.
