Knew a guy years ago ,his wife would get that kind of mileage from brakes and 70K on tires. Lived 2 blocks off the interstate and her work was something like 5 blocks off same. Drove 150 miles round trip in a straight line with very little braking. 110 K is phenomenal. What did your rotors look like ? You got real close to destroying them. Where is your wear tab ?
Seven years, 78,000 miles or so, brakes were going so had them replaced on my handy 6 cylinder front wheel drive (o.k. for Texas) Outlander Mitsubishi SUV. I also took out the back seat and had a good twin mattress made to fit so this is my great little R.V. Goes anywhere and got some tinted windows too. Good mileage on regular gas. My dogs and I are o.k.with it. In Alaska my small camper truck went many places the r.v.'s could not go and was easy on the budget on the Alaska Marine Highway boat. But in an SUV I don't have to get out to drive when there are bears or lions outside.
I'd be real surprised if you got that kind of mileage out of the new set of shoes.

Just in time too! 100k is a LONG time for a set of front pads.
ReplyDeleteWe enjoyed our quick stop (pun intended) at TFL today. Glad to see you and the boys again.
