Brake pad life - Click HERE for Original Thread

I have 47,000 miles on my 2004 MDX and I'm still on the original brake pads. I'm wondering how many miles other people are getting on their brake pads.

Had 72,300 on them before changing a few weeks ago. The rear pads were just a fraction from hitting the sensor, but the front ones looked ok. Same thing on my Integra--rear ones wore down much quicker.

Now using Axxis Deluxe on both cars with excellent results.

44,000 miles and still on originals!

Not sure, but before I traded in the 03', it still had plenty of pad at 34K.

49K on the originals and still going.

Glad to see that people are generally going greater than 50k miles before changing brake pads.

I had a '99 Chevy Tahoe before and I had to change the front brake pads every 12-14k miles. Huge pain in the butt. The rears were drums.

Changing mine next week because the rotors are warped, AGAIN! Turned them at 20k because they were warped (Or whatever you perfer to call it, I call it a "very noticable steering wabble during breaking")

So, new rotors in the front and we'll see how the backs are. New pads all around since I'll already be in there. 48k now, probably enough pad left for another 10k or so.

...at least for now. I am figuring I will have to do them in the near future, but they are holding out very well.

Being a Honda/Acura person I will not machine my rotors this time. I have in the past and have them warp. The rotors are thin enough that you are asking for it IMHO.

Just went in for an oil change and they ended up replacing the front brake pads. Had a little over 47,000 miles on them. They said the rear pads still had lots of miles left on them.

46K miles on my '03. Original brake pads (original tires as well)
