The heat would warp the rotors well before the pads or rotors were worn out. My independent mechanic advised me to hold off on replacement until the steering wobble became unbearable, usually on hard braking on off ramps or long downhill stretches returning from a day of skiing. Problem went away we moved to the flatlands.
