i do both. i drive 50miles each way to work right now. 25miles is back roads and highway, the other 25 is stop and go city(heavy). so, mileage will work if an average is taken.(dead center of the distribution). i deal with stats all day so that's were that distribution word comes from. What i'm really trying to avoid is replacing roters at every brake change. The last 2 trucks i owned(chevy 1500ext cab and chevy avalanche) went through brakes very frequently. And every time i had it in for pad changes, i'd have to get the roters replaced because they were a C-hair under tolerance. always the fronts. they(the know-all mechanics)said it was a very common problem with the chevy brand. i understand it has a lot to do with the way a person drives. i'm not nice to vehicles. how do i prevent rotor replacement? change pads at oil change intervals? different pads? drive in the slow lane?
