Default brake rotors are 26.8 mm, should I replace them?

Hello,

I am going to replace my rear brake pads, due to it is only 3 mm left. I also measured the brake rotors, they are 26.8 mm. The minimal thickness is 26.0 mm, so I don't know how long will the 0.8 mm last? Do you think it is time to replace brake rotor?

I'd replace it before first snow. Or, did that already happen?

We are talking about rears? Do you plan to have them turned? If yes then I would say skip turning and get a new pair.

If not then you should be able to get another year out of them ...[normal driving].
The pads should wear out and not the metal.
