An anti-lock brake control system 12 for a vehicle 10 that increases the tire slip when the vehicle brake component(s) are at an excessive thermal load. The brake control system 12 has an operator input 18 for commanding vehicle braking, and brake actuators 20A-20C for applying braking force to wheels 14A-14D in response to the operator input. In addition, the brake control system 12 includes a temperature sensor 38 for sensing temperature of a brake related component, and wheel speed sensors 36 for sensing rotational speed of the wheels. Further, the brake control system 12 includes a controller 22 for controlling the amount of braking by the brake actuators in accordance with a tire slip. The controller 22 determines the amount of tire slip during braking and increases the amount of tire slip to transfer thermal load to the vehicle tires when the temperature is excessive.
