Whats the difference between abs and brake booster breaking systems ?

Answer:

A brake booster uses engine vacuum or hydraulics to give a power assist to the pedal. This makes it easier to push the pedal and increases braking effectiveness. ABS is controlled by a computer called the Electronic Brake Control Module. This computer uses wheel speed sensors to detect a slip condition at one or more wheels caused by a traction loss such as ice, water, snow, etc. When the computer detects this, it activates servos that are connected inline with the brake hydraulic system. The servos pulsate the brake pressure rapidly to regain traction at the slipping wheel. It's a much faster way of doing the old-timey pump the pedal thing that grandpa learned.
Those little white wires are the belts that are under the rubber. They make up the structure of the tire but they do not hold air. I would not ride with a tire like that because it will blow. One wrong move or stone in the road and it will cause a major accident. Last thing you want is a blow out at highway speeds.
4 wheel disk brakes end swifter (the place you are able to skid) ABS has a pumping to it as in case you have been stompping up and down on the brake for emergencies like off the line into gravel or snow. the ABS kind probable comes with 4 wheel disk brakes, its merely the ABS characteristic it quite is one greater.
all power brake systems have a booster, weather it has ABS or regular brakes.
That tire is junk and I think you know it. You're lucky you haven't had it blow and cause an accident. Count your blessings and wait for that new tire.
