if you have excessive brake dust (dirty rims within 100 miles or so) there is a tsb for it, they will replace them for free, i had mine done at 10k and am very pleased

Congrats on your new 250, you will be very happy with this car. As for brakes and tires, roughly 20k and the front pads need replacing (high friction). I would wait until 10k and see if your vehicle qualifies for the TSIB brake pads. The Dunlops wear out quite fast.
