My 07 Chevy went 50K on the first set of pads. They looked brand new. The rotors had a groove in them. Apparently, they use a harder pad than the rotor. I had to do the brakes because of obscene pedal pulsation. At the time, I thought warped rotors and just replaced them. I've since learned about the "DTV" issue caused in large part by tight tolerances, junk hubs and tire techs that overtorque lug nuts. For my second brake job, I borrowed a Procut 9.2DRO and turned the new rotors out in the driveway.
