This message came up saying BRAKE WEAR. I figure the front pads are bad, I only changed them about a year and a half ago, 10k miles.

How long do I have till they start grinding. I dont want to get to that point but I have to drive to NJ from NY, 250 mile trip and dont know if I should take the Lincoln instead. I rather take the LEX, but dont want to damage rotors.

Any one know how many miles I can get out of these pads?

Thanks

Things we need to know...

Pad Type, Brand etc. They Shouldnt wear out after 15k miles at all if there a good pad of anysort.

Lexus pads. ANd the rotors were cut before I installed them!

its pretty easy to change the pads..try to inspect them and see if they still have meat on them. if the light JUST came on then id say u can still go on that 250m trip. just dont be slamming ur brakes every single time.

check the rear pads, theres a sensor back there too.

the OEM pads last a LONG time, generally >45k miles.

Back ones were changed about 7k miles ago. Back ones can wear out so fast?

Anyhow, I decided to take the LEx on this trip, will baby it since its mostly highway driving.
I will open her up when I get home and see which side it is.

Thanks!

fronts should wear out more than the rear.
