Brake and/or tire problems

hey guys, i drive an '05 coupe with sports package that has 6,000 miles on it. Recently, i went on a road trip that lasted a little more than 600 miles, both ways. I ran into a big snowstorm, and had an incident where i slid off to the side of the highway. Ever since this long drive, my coupe has been very different, in both handling and braking. When i got my car 4 months ago, the brakes would feel very soft and very sensitive. Whenever coming to a red light or traffic, i was able to wait to the last minute to brake. Now, it seems that i have to brake a lot harder, and for a longer duration of time. I miss the confidence i had in my brakes... Anyone know how I can get that back???? Also, my second problem is with my coupe's handling. It seems that even when the roads are dry, I dont get as good handling as I did before i went on my long trip. It feels like my tires just arent gripping. What should i do????????

^^^ +1

could be that you're slowly losing brake fluid.

could be that your alignment is off.
