This is after 65,000km and a change from the stock 16s to after market 18s somewhere in between (not sure if this is relevant). We decided to leave it as is.
Since the pads appeared to be arond 40% - 50% worn compared to the new Textar pads I had, my friend figured it'd be safe for around another 20,000km.
any opinions would be much appreciated  |
Thanks for the input. I have since realized that the OE does, in fact, have quite a bit of life left. I've decided to hold out on replacement pads a little longer.
