Just checked mine while, rotating the tires, @ 70k miles and I think mine might have a touch more pad than that. So I agree, they'll probably go 100k. 🤯

Decided to do front rotors...these are my front brake pads after 60,000 miles! These things will go to 100,000 I think. Wow ..
What was the purpose of replacing the rotors?

could feel a little bit of pulsating now and then(warpage). Factory recommends tey be replaced anyway at or before 70K miles. Went with NAPA adaptive (their best) at $114 ea.

every other vehicle I've owned in my 66 years, I would have been on my 3rd set by now.

Did you try bedding the brakes to eliminate the pulsation? Many times, the rotor isn't warped, but imprinted with pad material that burned in on a sudden stop or very hot rotor.

Can't say I'm surprised. At almost 63k miles and mine look good.

I had a 2020 Chevy Equinox and turned it in after 3.5 years, 182k miles with its original brakes...

At 60K miles I want new rotors anyway...😀
