At what MM should we have our brake pads changed.

I recently had my tires rotated and they showed 9mm rear 7mm front.

It that good for having almost 29K miles??

Also tires were 6/32 front and 8/32 rear??

Does that mean I didn't burn enough rubber yet ... [sm=gears.gif]???

2/32 is considered worn out for tires and brake pads.
At your rate 50k seems about the due date, give or take.

Maximum wear before replacement:
Replace the tires when they get to the wear bar indicators. Replace the brake pads when the audible indicators squeal when brakes are applied.
It's probably best to replace these items justbefore they get to that stage.

Driving habits will dictate. I can usually get 70 to 90K out of my brakes and about 60K from my tires.

Quit using your Nike's to stop! lol.

The avg. I see in the shop is 30-50k on brakes, and 50k on tires.
Like Dragon said, driving habits will dictate.

its funny cause i have 42,000 on the original pads and i was wondering when i should change them...i guess im still good until i hear that squeel

To go by the wear indicator is not always a good idea. Not all pads have them on the inboard pad, and if that one wears faster for some reason the next thing youll be hearing is the grinding of the rotors.
