Default Brake Pad Life

How many miles do you get on your front brake pads? I typically get 30,000 - 40,000 due to my driving style, and obviously life varies greatly with driving conditions, driving habits, terrain, etc. but just curious what most people are getting.

It really depends on driving style and type of pads.

I've gone through ceramic pads in 12,000 miles, but I have seen cars do 50,000 on a set.

Our 2003 Accord has about 60k miles & it looks like the front pads might not last another 10k. Rear drums (LX) have tons of material left on the shoes.

my 07 needed a front brake job at 16k and 32k miles cause the rotors warped by then. not sure how much pad life was left, as the dealer did the first one, and i sold it with the issue outstanding.
