Sounds like based on your use and tires you are reaching the limits of the OEM braking system and it may be time to step up to a "big brake kit"

That's not how this works. While I will concede that surface area is directly proportional to convective heat transfer capability, surface area and volume do not increase at a 1:1 ratio as you increase the diameter of the rotor. With what you're proposing, you're just increasing heat storage at a faster rate than you are cooling capability. In other words: Once it gets hot, it's staying hot.
