Best brake pads for prius v??

Gotcha. U have road salt by u?

 

Copious amounts, overkill a lot of times.

 

Does anyone ever need to change them?

 

Our fronts are around 6 mm at 86K kms, another~80K (or sooner) I'd be replacing them for sure, and new shims. That's around 100K miles. I doubt I'll ever need to replace the rotors though. Or have caliper issues. If you do a full inspection every 3 or 4 years, and change the brake fluid tri-yearly, it helps.

 

We have found they usually need to be changed at 180,000 mi irregardless of how the car is driven. Interestingly I'm finding the rears get thin first. But if you just change all four at the same time and consider it mid-point in the life cycle of the car and be done with it you'll be saving yourself the aggravation of doing the front brakes 15,000 mi later

 

So they say I need new front pads. It's a 2013 with only 57k miles. Apparently the brine has caused a lot of issues with pads in the winter. Not upset, because they say my rotors are still in great shape.

 

My 2001 Gen 1 had 204K miles and never had any brake work done except brake fluid changes.
YMMV
