Well, here that really depends on the tires and the road conditions. Also keep in mind it takes much less brake torque to maintain a locked condition than to get to the locked condition, so a momentary loss of traction can lock a wheel at almost any speed. Again, I guess my point is, its still a bit more complex an issue than your statements let on.
