Brake pads are the parts of your braking system that will make direct contact with brake rotors to cause friction and slow down your vehicle on New Haven-area roads. The heat and friction caused by this is the reaction that will cause your brake pads to wear down to the point of needing replacement.
Several factors determine how long brake pads should last. Some of these, including how hard you apply the brake pedal, are completely within your control. Other less controllable factors, including Milford road conditions and outside temperatures, can also affect your brake pads. Below, we break down a variety of factors that can impact how long brake pads last:
With this information in mind, remember that brake pads have different burnoff rates for each make and model. Not to mention the quality and brand of the brake pads themselves. So, how long should brake pads last? You can expect an average set to last at least 20,000 miles on the low end and up to 75,000 miles on the high end.
When discussing the higher end of how long brake pads last, it’s not hard to mention the most resilient brake pad material. Usually only found on luxury and high-performance vehicles, ceramic brake pads are considered the best option for many models. But, how long do ceramic brake pads last? These parts can perform reliably up to 75,000 miles on average.
