I do alot of interstate driving so i rarely have to use my brakes. Everyone has their own commute, and style of driving but want to see an average.

So far about 35k on my truck (including towing) with lots of life left.

For my buddys drums on his CJ ... one trip into the woods with the cheapo autozone ones and the pads came off the shoes.... :lol:

PS... not knocking them Al, just thats what they were

Well since i got the car ive driven 50,000 miles when i got the car the brakes had roughly 5,000 miles on them. I looked at the pads theres a good amount of pad left. So im good for awhile.

i only changed the pads in the TA once (had it for ~35k) and i beat the **** out of that car everytime it got driven... the rotors on the riv are going, will need to fix that eventually

On my Firehawk, it currently has 34K on it and I only had to shave the front rotors once. The pads have never been replaced.

My old chevy half-ton went 150k miles on the original pads up front before the wear indicators hit the rotors. My dad had it from new, and it ended up in my hands. Front pads were never changed.

Other than that, about 50k seems to be the norm for my stuff.
